It's not that I don't appreciate the gifts that I get, I really do, but I really have a hard time coming up things for other people and with 9 adults to buy for (at least $50.00 a pop) it gets to be pricey. And that doesn't include the kids. I try to come up with things that people will like, but I think I miss the boat every year. So this year everyone is getting gift cards. I'm sorry if it doesn't seem like I put any thought into it, but I think I've over thought it, and this is where I've ended up. IMO, and it's just my opinion, the gift giving part is really for the kids. What can people buy me that I don't already have (Corvette)? I feel like people are wasting money on me when I get things like a sweater (I'll never wear from some outlet mall I don't live by and can't return it to), a new skillet, body lotion my child is allergic to so I can't wear, etc. I think the charity idea is a good one. Maybe I'll try it next year :) How can you say NO to charity?ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.com
