1. 'fraid I can't help.

for years now our extended family has drawn names. Each person buys one gift for whichever name they draw, and that's all the Christmas shipping we ever do.

4. OK. I confess. I do get some toys for the two grandkids who are still young. nt

3. That is great! Love it. Hope it spreads.

I have a small biz and I tell people this same thing each and every day.

You'd be surprised (or maybe not) at how many people are infuriated with banks right now.

5. Always use cash

Everyday
I made almost all my gifts. Made this super cute deep purple pettiskirt and matching crown for my three year old niece. A pink one for my daughter with silver crown. Photos for the grandparents. Arm warmers for my nine and ten year old nieces. Only thing I bought was legos for my son and nephew. :)
