My spouse and I exchange small gifts and like you, we wait for the sales after New Years. I agree with 'sorted lives', time with your Granny is priceless; she is a treasure. Enjoy the pancakes.

"i got an ipod!" "i got a new car" "i got a plasma scren tv, a 5.1 dolby stereo, a new laptop and a new fucking xbox or whatever the hell that is" the last time someone gave me something was probably in the early reagan administration. it amazes me that adults still expect and get gifts on xmas! they never seem to appreciate it , either and that makes it harder for me. what i'd give to get a present from someone! i can hardly imagine what it would be like to just GET a plasma T.V. or an ipod! xmas is just another sunday for me. sure to pass unnoticed. now i'm bitter. whatever. it is hard at this time of year when everyone is talking about all the loot they got for xmas and it never ceases to astonish me, the stuff people get! “i got an ipod!” “i got a new car” “i got a plasma scren tv, a 5.1 dolby stereo, a new laptop and a new fucking xbox or whatever the hell that is”

We found that we actually appreciate the whole point of Christmas more. I'll be working this year, but I don't mind too much as it allows my staff to spend time with their families and friends and that's what is important. Enjoy the pancakes!

You definitely hit the nail on the head. Christmas has certainly gotten too comercialized. I have scaled WAY back this year with the kids. Here wishing you the Happiest Holiday ever! Awesome!
