There is no money for gifts so to speak here. So I make jams, candied nuts and snack pretzel sticks with parm and send those to the kids. The rest get cards. Its the best I can do. To me the holiday is not about presents so much about the season. I can say that now that the kids are grown and understanding. We trade good wishes and I send a few snacks that can be enjoyed. still have to make pepper jelly and that will be a big hit.
