Gift with my family is pretty easy, either I have an idea of what to get or I ask for some suggestions, as to my sisters and my mom. (Other than my sisters and parents the only other person I exchange gifts with is my grandmother and I know exactly where she wants a gift card to, so that's easy as well).
My husband's family on the other hand, well actually it's just his one sister and her husband that we exchange gifts with and I would rather totally end that. His sister basically gives junk that typically ends up in the trash can because it's not even decent enough to take to Goodwill. I'd be 1000 times happier to NOT exchange with them at all.
As for the other stuff, never been one to do parties, ever, and I actually like to bake when I have time, so I will eventually get around to baking at least two types of Christmas cookies and maybe one candy....those typically consist of buckeye cookies/candy, themb print cookies, and a version of blossom cookies (the ones with the Hersey kiss in the center, but I make them smaller and use the small baking kisses instead).
I also like to decorate, but need my house in order first, so not a lot of decorating this year since I'm still putting boxes away from getting moved in.
