The hubby and I have scaled way back on presents and we kept begging family NOT to get us or the kids presents but they refuse and then get mad if we don't want to get all the neices and nephews and cousins gifts. It is crazy. Makes me nuts. Can't we all just enjoy being with family instead of focusing on the massive pile of needless gifts? Grrr. <br /><br />I wish people would be more accepting of others in general. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, Happy Hannukah. It is all a way to wish someone the best. Why get grouchy about it. Strange.<br /><br />ANYWAY...<br /><br />I hope you have a very blessed Christmas! :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860476504120652781.post-71042973762991106342011-12-22T11:04:00.296-06:002011-12-22T11:04:00.296-06:00You are very wise!!You are very wise!!Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311014761113076785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860476504120652781.post-44375727805550534942011-12-22T09:23:17.099-06:002011-12-22T09:23:17.099-06:00It's difficult but not impossible to celebrate...It's difficult but not impossible to celebrate the season if Advent with carols blaring and S A L E lights blinking in our eyes, with people bashing Christmas for everything that it is not but has become in our culture. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your positive message. It's wonderful to hear your voice! Merry Christmas to you & your family, and may God bless you.Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402697423507846690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860476504120652781.post-55442699044042061952011-12-22T08:56:29.313-06:002011-12-22T08:56:29.313-06:00well said--and Merry Christmas.

My grown-up children especially like that since the days of birthday parties are long behind them. It makes all of us feel like children again, I think that's a good thing)kayerjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479123027080062607noreply@blogger.com
