Thanks All.
You know I have noticed this year, more than any in a long time, that people seem to be reverting back to Christmas past. Everyone I talk to seems more about giving to those in need, and scaling back the buying for everyone they know- and their brother.
In my world it used to be who could "out gift" the other. Now we just take care of our own immediate family, and do more for those in need. And even running son has gotten the message and only asked for one small gift. We are also doing more things as a family.
I have spent a tiny fraction of what I would have spent in other years. Partly by neccesity, but also because we all just feel like we are over the "uber consumer" thing. More "stuff" does not make you. How you walk in this world, and what you do to help make it better does.
I hope you all have a very merry and blessed Christmas. And for those of other faiths/beliefs, I wish you a very merry as well!
I love my TE family, and wish we could all get together for a big group hug!!!
Denise
