I think we are in a plce where we try to give, hostess gifts, as something to open, but no pressure. chocolates, kitchen towels, whatever.<br /><br />I find it hard to place my dreams in others' hands. Which is why I am so control freaky to my husband I think. <br /><br />Yes, yes with the Christmas books, movies and music. I can "feel" it then. elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032307225540121813.post-12279735903598941792013-11-21T09:39:16.282-08:002013-11-21T09:39:16.282-08:00I am lucky in that I have to have my side of the f...I am lucky in that I have to have my side of the family done by Thanksgiving. His side by the first week of December. That leaves the two adult children who are so much easier to shop for :) I've quit baking massive amounts and I try to have fun decorating and being in the festive moment.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252685705241032079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032307225540121813.post-13700722707383821852013-11-21T09:15:01.869-08:002013-11-21T09:15:01.869-08:00First of all I don't think men really get all ...First of all I don't think men really get all the time and effort it takes to make a holiday wonderful.

I can't stand the "modern" ones. Typically, I watch Christmas movies and read a couple of Christmas books. <br /><br />I decided two years ago that gifting was getting way out of hand and told my extended family, "No more gifts." I have too much "stuff" and don't need more. I requested an exchange of hand-written letters. I wrote mine; they didn't - another dream that fizzled.
