My wife shops year round for Christmas. She has a great eye for finding tthings people will like, and finding those things on sale. She has gotten some very nice gifts and saved a bunch of money.

I wish I was better. My siblings and I used to exchange gifts amongst us and our children. When you don't live close to people, you don't always know what to get them. But we quit doing that a couple decades ago, after our children grew up and left home. We've lost many people and I mostly gift my daughter for Christmas. When I buy her any gift, I let her order it or buy it and then I reimburse her, because otherwise, she is not fully happy and it is a waste. I do give gift bags to my clients that always includes dog or cat treats, some kind of toy, dog waste bags, chocolate, something homemade such as cookies or banana bread. That is easy. My clients have been really good to me.

Dont do xmas anymore. Kids dont come visit. Dont see grandkids. Have no idea what grandkids like. Ill send cash in a card. Same as I do for Birthdays. But this will be the last year if i get no response that they got the money and thanks. Last year one 12yr grandchilds parent sent an email that they got the card. No thanks just we got the card. So im kinda done.

sad when that happens. send a card with no money--keep the door open but dont have to be taken for granted.and stick that money amount in a coffee can in your kitchne, that is yourofficial donation can. . if someone ever comes back and mentions this time you didnt send a gift just tell them, gee--im sorry but since you never mentioned it or thanked me i figured you didnt want it so i dontated it.
people who dont bother to say thank you for a gift apparently dont need what they just got..
If those were my descendants, I would leave it all to some cause I believed in and left them just enough to keep the civil suits at bay.

Me, too. This is not an uncommon story though, on Reddit. People have zero interest in old parents or grandparents, and when the one who has been there gets everything, the rest are incensed.
Is that really you? I'm hoping so! You are missed!
Tradition.
Everybody I know gets the White Christmas song from me.
Just happened to remember that this thread was where I used to drop it also.
Hope it ain't too early for you real Christmas lubbers.
