For the past few years, we've had to make christmas lists- it is really out of hand and unecessary. There's too many people to buy for, and half the stuff on the lists are either things you could buy in a grocery store on any given day or really expensive items. This year we decided it is going to change. We will cut down the nonsense of spending and plethera of presents and we will each write down a few big things we really want and then draw names to see who will get who something and choose from their things. The kids, of course, as the exception, because we all like to buy for them. But it really seems to get greedy & selfish and we lose the focus of just being together.
