But I also pick up things throughout the year which seems to lessen the pain of seeing the checking account dwindle.<BR/><BR/>Even though I have 4 brothers, 2 sisters, 17 nieces and nephews, a mother, 3 "kids" and 2 grandsons, we do a "secret Santa" type of thing for everyone except the grandkids. I just couldn't afford to do everyone in the family! I'd have to sell my body on a street corner a couple of times a week to keep up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1166498356162263182006-12-18T19:19:00.000-08:002006-12-18T19:19:00.000-08:00My family grew too big so I had to start cutting o...My family grew too big so I had to start cutting off friends, but most of them seemed relieved. But, I like your idea of baked goods and small gestures. Seems like perhhaps our culture has gotten away from the "point" of the holiday and we're more concerned with how much we spend.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286819116257727504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1166465239440716992006-12-18T10:07:00.000-08:002006-12-18T10:07:00.000-08:00You and Sandra created a Net sensation!

We're saving for a house (a night full of loud music from our downstairs neighbor reinforced this need) and we don't <I>need</I> anything else, and so family gets presents and everyone else gets a card with a nice sentiment. It's hard, and we feel bad, but it's all we can do this year.<BR/><BR/>On the Blog Crush note, I can't believe how big that got. It was a lot of fun reading about everyone's crushes, and I found some great new sites (not that I needed to add any more to my daily reads, but I did). Thanks to you and the others for getting this rolling!Mrs. Cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082235238988664221noreply@blogger.com
