2020年12月22日 · I hear soooooo many complaints from my friends about gift giving for Christmas and Mother’s Day especially and it’s sooooo freeing not to care. +2. I don't care about gifts at all, I buy myself what I want.

2020年12月21日 · Ugh. Too true. Though I have solved this by just buying myself a little fun $$ crap amongst all the shopping and mak

2024年12月16日 · The only downside, for me, is not waking up at home Christmas morning and coming downstairs to open gifts. However, that lasts about 5 min. So the cruise is a better option overall. My kids are also teenagers now. I have really limited how much decorating we do - and I decided not to do Christmas cards this year.

2022年11月22日 · Her dad (70 yrs old) was born on Christmas, so she said that she can’t miss both Christmas and her dad’s birthday. She said it’s just difficult because my family is so far away and if our families were closer she would split the day to spend with both families.
