Never much...like all the girls are getting Pioneer Woman things that aren't expensive...our family is growing by leaps and bounds, tho, and we've decided to draw a name next year and do handmade gifts. bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-19689055065286963142018-12-22T07:49:39.237-05:002018-12-22T07:49:39.237-05:00 Merry Christmas and wishing you peace, joy and ha...

O...We used to buy lots of presents, but no longer. Our youngest grandchild is 21 & my husband & I are in our 80's. Now we just give money, which is always appreciated. This is a memory from my past:<br />Nameless II (our oldest granddaughter) was almost 1 1/2 years old when she came to our house for Christmas. There were a bazillion or two gifts under the tree. (My family used to claim that if I gave someone a deck of cards I would wrap each one individually. Possibly a slight exaggeration.) Anyway, she took one look at the tree & the gifts & her eyes grew huge. She drew in a deep breath & said in a baby voice, "So many pwesents--all fo' me!!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-16359192842566497082018-12-21T22:25:44.968-05:002018-12-21T22:25:44.968-05:00Merry Almost Christmas to you!!! I'm wrapping ...Merry Almost Christmas to you!!! I'm wrapping up the last few things tonight. Louis Dean and I each bought the other something and we will open those privately. I buy for my children and grandchildren plus spouses. The older grands are the hardest. I decided two years ago to give them Texas Trash. It is rather expensive to make and I give them each a container plus I put a little $$ in the top. Last year it was $20 but this year it's $10. Things are a little tighter. Plus I give a gift certificate to Campo Verde to the parents. A large enough one for the whole family of five to eat out.<br />Gift giving doesn't seem to be as much fun as it used to be. I guess I am getting old.Gifts don't mean as much to me these days. But I do love Christmas with family and all teh traditions!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623820316056914224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-2593424684886875822018-12-21T18:42:46.463-05:002018-12-21T18:42:46.463-05:00I love to read of your closeness with your daughte...I love to read of your closeness with your daughter. Sherry wanted a daughter, never happened, but when that GRANDdaughter came. OH WOW she was happy.<br />No we do not exchange anymore and do not shop. Ours now is simply a monetary gift to each family member. If we are giving cash, we drive home, if checks we mail it. We d like to have an evening out to celebrate Christmas....<br />Merry Christmas to you and St. Nick!jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-21577809800012636742018-12-21T18:40:18.974-05:002018-12-21T18:40:18.974-05:00We don't exchange gifts any more.
