DH's kids just decided we would not do any adult gifts this year, just for the kids. I am midway in making duffle bags for the three girls. sigh. Guess I will surprise a few of my friends with a nice new duffle, though we don't exchange gifts either. My main complaint isn't about gifts or no gifts, it's that the decision was made so late in the year -- to my mind, mid-October is way too late to make decisions re: Christmas. But DH and his family seem to think all decisions can be made at the last minute and it's no sweat. I should be used to this after 13 years, but grrrrr!
