I you sent me a card, I didn't get it, but I sent a few cards to my kids, no more, so we are even. Off to check on G's blog.

I can actually write a longer personal message than with a card. I'm still getting a few cards with only their name on it. Our name is only on the envelope. Why bother? <br /><br />That's a hard decision. I know what you mean, and I know the feeling.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-35678191348562969312014-12-19T06:48:58.453-08:002014-12-19T06:48:58.453-08:00I don't buy "Christmas" or "bir...I don't buy "Christmas" or "birthday" gifts. I buy whatever I like whenever I see it and give it to the grandchild the next time I see him/her. Or, I ship them the goodie. My family never made a big deal of these gift days, nor do I.<br /><br />However, I still send some Christmas cards, but not online versions. Those I hate. Nor do I send birthday or holiday greeting via Facebook. I hate that too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-23885624794509695952014-12-17T05:22:00.455-08:002014-12-17T05:22:00.455-08:00Ah yes, good Christians keeping you from polluting...Ah yes, good Christians keeping you from polluting their sacredness. Uh huh.<br /><br />Anyway, just send ecards one at a time.

Not feeling the Christmas thing so much this year. My gifts are all "Jewish Mother Gifts" (practical things so they won't have to spend the money) ... And I am not feeling bakerly because butter is almost $5 a pound.

Neither are they if they quit speaking to you IMHO. <br /><br />I spend pretty much the same on each grandchild and I see a couple of them still think someone else is getting more than they are. Most don't care and just enjoy. The toddlers love it all. I suspect there is a connection to future happiness for the enjoyers. They seem to be the ones who know people care for them. One of my sisters, at 70, still thinks everyone has more, better, than she. Still it seems worth it to me to get to see them all sitting in their piles of discarded paper at the end, smiling. I'm lucky. Miss my sisters though, maybe next year I'll travel.

Where did they come from (not where, i know how, obviously). Just curious.<br /><br />I mean, my Mom has only had one for 8 years...so it's not like it's weird or anything.<br />William Noetlinghttp://budgetscd.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-57495813190727044922014-12-16T10:06:10.750-08:002014-12-16T10:06:10.750-08:00Well since no one has the perfect relations with f...Well since no one has the perfect relations with family I can understand your sadness. I seem to be in better years now with those I love. Only one still keeps me up at nights. I am close to my grandkids, but they are all under 10. Ten years from now will be another tale. You do have to life for yourself and not pain yourself over others. You have some great close friendships that others do not have. Gift giving...Yech! Such a puzzle.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.com
