Like Celia, my family only gives a token gift, a "goodie bag" to each member. And the promise of time or talent or whatever a person needs after the holidays makes Christmas last all year. I'm tired just reading about all that useless shopping so I'm going to enjoy a cup of Earl Grey and a snack right now!Linda Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749255692298669394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350339348313810194.post-78154501080863358112010-12-16T20:15:02.836+00:002010-12-16T20:15:02.836+00:00Thankfully, our families gave up mass gift buying....Thankfully, our families gave up mass gift buying. We don't even send each other cards, only if you have a snapshot to add or a real letter. I, for one, almost resent the beautiful, expensive card that cost 44 cents to mail, and the giver says,"Love,..."--fill in the blank. Those mean nothing to me, and oh, how I wish to tell them, take the $50 you spent on all these cards and give it to the Salvation Army.<br />In fact, there's a great gift right there. Donate to the Red Kettle--or your food bank, or anything, and then, send an e-mail saying it was in their name.<br />I do buy gifts for the grandsons, but even there, they're old enough to get some money.<br />For adult family members that are near enough to spend some Christmas time with, we exchange food gifts. Buy, bake, cook, your choice.My husband adores "snacks" so our daughter gives him a gift bag filled with good things from Target--you know all those shelves with attractive food? Yum.And she makes her special sugar cookies that I like for me.<br />Have a wonderful Christmas season!

I thought I was being tacky doing so until yesterday. One of my radio stations had a dicussion about it on facebook -- everyone does it it seems. I'd recommend not regifting items to the same side of the family you received it from. It might end up back in the hands of the original gifter. ;)Bekki Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437144729824303058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350339348313810194.post-77974801366710430982010-12-16T17:41:39.092+00:002010-12-16T17:41:39.092+00:00So true, now is the time to simply give what you c...So true, now is the time to simply give what you can from the heart.
