I'm so down with that. Would love to talk to you at length about it.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the rest of your post, Scrooge, you're absolutely right. People everywhere are struggling. There's no reason to break the bank this year. Mountains of gifts aren't what the holiday is all about anyway.<BR/><BR/>We're cutting back on everything. We're buying three gifts for the little one and adding in gifts from relatives, as you suggest, to the pile from "Santa." And we're only giving gifts to other kids in the family, no adults.Meaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11409477242587113370noreply@blogger.com
