Perhaps our family is unique but over the past decade, we’ve gone from prolific holiday spenders and gift givers to almost zero gift giving. We get together, have a good meal and blow a wad on a good bottle of bourbon. No one really has room in their life for more stuff.

I wonder if others feel the same? Maybe the retailers burned us out on buying “stuff.”

I’ve pretty much “nixed” Christmas. More about family now than stupid psycho spending. The retailers don’t like the term Christmas anyway, they can deal with not liking the cash that doesn’t come in too. We don’t need shiny crap junk from China anyway.
