Ladyfisher,
I have to admit I've lost the joy of Christmas. This latest HOLIDAY talk has just about done it for me. I'm glad it is the birthday of Jesus. I'm VERY glad it's not MY birthday!
A few years ago our families finally gave up giving expensive gifts. The last fun thing my EX wife's family did was to have everyone buy a gift at the Dollar Store and pick numbers to see what gift we would get. The FUNNY thing is that at least one of us tried to buy a gift certificate at the Dollar Store! I don't think the cashier was amused.
My Son ended up with the dollar camera I bought. I asked him how he liked it and he said he HATED IT!
I asked Joe why? and he said "IT DOESN'T HAVE FILM!"
I said, "IT COST A DOLLAR!"
So lighten things up some Christmas by trying this idea.
Doug
