Sounds good to me -- we're definitely going with something along those lines this year -- especially with moving (this weekend!) and the new baby in January -- it just doesn't make sense to blow the money on xmas when you really don't need to.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248779047139738858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-9050627291901403152008-11-25T14:16:00.000-06:002008-11-25T14:16:00.000-06:00That is wonderful.

I was trying to compose a Top Ten post in my head the other day of my favorite Christmas presents and honest to goodness I can't remember more than one or two. But like you said, I remember so much more about those holidays. The food, the family, the laughs, the tears. Definitely something to think about when I agonize over what gifts to give.CaraBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614627167922944626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-35390678607825708632008-11-25T13:25:00.000-06:002008-11-25T13:25:00.000-06:00I love your mission statement!

Now THAT's a memory that you'll rehash every year! LOVE those memories.

On the one hand, I think that stress during the holidays is unavoidable (helloooo, family!) but I think it's important for the adults to keep it in perspective. The "memory making" magic of Christmas is mostly cinematic, I think. It used to be when we would get the cameras out, but now we do it every day.Marinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16489592695993949578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-86803712530337768052008-11-25T06:47:00.000-06:002008-11-25T06:47:00.000-06:00you rock.you rock.Vodka Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734323418017847775noreply@blogger.com
