I also agree that the commercialism is just waaaaaaaaaaaayyy too much and gets worse every year. This year, I want to stay home for Christmas, enjoy my tree, watch the cats play with their stockings. We've traveled that last few holidays--it's our turn to stay home this year.Cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804443617345021699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504705839924585584.post-23890323101562242142009-11-09T18:22:57.464-08:002009-11-09T18:22:57.464-08:00It seems as we get older, we do a little less for ...It seems as we get older, we do a little less for the holidays. Last year I didn't even put the tree up, this year I will force myself. <br />I send very few cards out anymore, and I seem to get less each year.Terri Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938777652315717501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504705839924585584.post-59066561661158472222009-11-09T18:17:59.142-08:002009-11-09T18:17:59.142-08:00I really love the holidays, but really hate the co...I really love the holidays, but really hate the commercialism of the whole thing. I make my own cards and we are really cutting back on the gift buying this year. So many people are hurting financially that we talked to our (adult) kids and decided to set spending limits so everyone can just have fun and not feel stressed over buying presents. Our kids have their spouses families to spend time with as well, so we try to be very flexible so that doesn't ever become an issue. I have a tiny little house and the decorating requires taking things down in order to put other things up. Not even doing that this year. Going with the bare minimum. I love the tree and the lights and candles so we plan to keep it simple.<br /><br />We celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday so our kids can spend the entire day Thursday at their in-laws and then the entire day Friday with us.<br /><br />I love just chillin' out over Christmas. Our youngest comes in from Colorado and he's even bringing his girlfriend with him this year and his dog and her dog! Yikes!<br /><br />Our traditions have changed over the years as I kids became adults and married. For us it's all about family time and we cherish every moment.<br /><br />:)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582104259056007093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504705839924585584.post-48591001514460104042009-11-08T17:29:08.960-08:002009-11-08T17:29:08.960-08:00What adorable cards!

After that, the grandkids that are here hunt for the "pickle" ornament on the tree. It hides very nicely since it's green. There's always a prize for the kid with the sharpest eyes. Now that we have teenage grandkids and younger ones too we split them up into 2 groups. Everyone not only wants the prize but the bragging rights for the rest of the year.Oklahoma Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053304659210754009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504705839924585584.post-38841594355703645062009-11-08T10:53:28.568-08:002009-11-08T10:53:28.568-08:00What wonderful cards!

We do not exchange gifts and do not send cards unless my daughter makes them. She is talented that way.Lanyardladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14461038657517013524noreply@blogger.com
