FeistyFeline, I don't know if you will see this or not, I truly hope you do though.
You have renewed my Christmas spirit and I want to say thank you! I am so tired of family bickering, fighting, arguing, and just not getting along at any time I've tried to have a family get together since they grew up! This ones got a problem with another one or with me or somebody else. It's constant drama! I have finally walked away from it all, I'm too old for that. I love your idea. I never liked the idea of going broke buying gifts. I'd much rather have something handmade than a very expensive gift of some sort. I don't have that kind of money and I have 20+ to give to at Christmas. Homemade gifts aren't "good enough" for most of them so what do you do?!?!? I do view Christmas as a religious holiday, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but I never heard a word about that. This year, it will be only me. I will see what my neighbors plans are, maybe a nice tree trimming party a week or two before the actual day. Thank you!
