Cyber Monday et al…...

Sheila-one year our family members decided to give each other consumable gifts.  The kids still got toys but the adults received gift certificates to restaurants or gift basekts. 

I love giving, getting is a not as big a deal. So I enoy the time of buying and wrapping. 

Hi Sheila Anderson ,  It seems that the older we get, the more we change our views on how we celebrate the holidays.

We are loosing sight of the meaning of Christmas . . .  . It's not about the shopping.

Good luck and success.

I totally agree with your sentiment, Sheila!  The more I shuffle through life, the more I understand that less is often more!

Thoughtful post. Stuff changes us.

Good Tuesday morning Sheila Anderson -

I totally agree in that less is more.  Thankfully we have enough sense not to be into all the hype of keeping up with the Jones. We keep it simple and real. We did mail off the kiddos Christmas gifts via FedEx yesterday but we kept that down to a mild roar as well. 

I like Alexandra's comment. Experience is much more important than stuff.

friends, family, time.

and most of that requires unplugging too.

"Stuff" is just that, stuff.   But the love and friendship we can all share during the holidays is what really counts Sheila Anderson
