We have never really killed ourselves to be everything to everybody at Christmas or to buy Lo the most expensive presents but I will say I did stress about being able to afford gifts (not expensive ones, but something) for everyone in the family. This year we kept it very simple. Thom made a dvd compilation of video of the family he has shot over the past year and Lo wrote and illustrated a little book and that's what people got. Thom and I exchanged a book with each other and we spent the day enjoying each others company. Lo got just a few, inexpensive, gifts from "santa" and a few things from family members and she couldn't have been happier. <br /><br />At first I thought, we don't have enough under the tree, and then I thought "stuff" isn't really what the holiday is about. Being atheist, I guess it's strange that we celebrate Christmas, we could easily turn it into a holiday celebrating stuff. But we didn't fall into that trap and we had a wonderful day.<br /><br />This last year and a half has really put what is truly important into perspective. <br /><br />Thanks again for a wonderful post.Amityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611872265596749205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341072765399854915.post-44908567908059476562009-12-23T13:40:43.494-08:002009-12-23T13:40:43.494-08:00I beg to differ.
