we don't exchange useless stuff (AKA x-mas presents) in our family for
years. We spend some time together and try having a good time.

Well, with our kids I don't mind. However, I proposed holding that kind
of Christmas with my sisters a few years ago (ages 59 and 56, by the way),
and you'd have thought I was trying to steal their favorite teddy bears.

So, onward we march, into consumer heaven...

Well, enjoy it the way YOU (and family) want to and don't let anyone shove
their notions on you.

This year my family is going to meet all the in-laws at Grandma's
(Scottsdale, AZ) and the guest of honor will be my son, Michael, home for
his first Christmas with family since going active duty with the Navy in
2002.

Make the most of every year. This is likely going to be Grandma's last one
with us.

Like the old adage: Do it YOUR way!!
