I don't have a family (as far as a partner and/or kids are concerned), and my family is in Tennessee for the most part. I've not the budget for gift buying, so I am focusing on doing my best to actually be physically present at Christmas this year, and I am taking a "Christmas Duck" (rather than a turkey or goose) home for the holiday meal and I will cook it. I will likely take the makings for some other treats, like my special chocolate chip cookies, or some other such treat. I hope we can spend some quality time together and make THAT the focus of the holiday.
