Worry about your job - why? - the present you get him might've been a repeat last year or year before ... and now, you don't know what this year. It always brings some comfort knowing the ones you love and care for are all that you really need ... a lil present wuold help improve that love you already have .

Thank you for posting this. The holidays DO bring on personality changes in many people. This time of year is so very emotional. That can be good...or it can be overwhelming. The pressure is on to do everything "just right". We personally are scaling way down this Christmas and are already loving it. We'll be "doing for" the kids but no more $20-gift-for-every-relative dealio. That really IS overwhelming. I am going to be baking A LOT of cookies this year, tying them up in pretty bows and giving those out. Just like when I was a kid! Thank you for some great words of wisdom here. You know what?
