Am I the only one who has actually done something about gift giving getting way, way out of hand? Now, granted, I do not have children, and of course, hence, grands.
For a few years I just threw my hands up and said, no one is getting presents, but we'll buy a hayride. Daddy and sis with musical instruments, a pinata, some KFC and some hootch on a picnic.
Organizing that became impossible. Now I just buy a huge box of food delecasies and pay Mr. UPS to deal with shipping.
My husband and I just quit. We now just plan something for a future day and call that "Christmas."
Anyone else just get fed up? And how did you deal with it?
I swear, buying presents was sucking any and all joy of the season out of me 15 years ago.
