What if all the Christians in the country went just one year where they didn't buy any presents, but went the hand-made route or just got together?

In a way we did that this year. Yes some purchases were made (we have an 8 yo, what can I say) but we made those purchases in October. IOW, I won't be involved in all the rush and one upmanship that has become December.

How do you find the time?

I'm so busy working OT to afford all the Christmas presents that I just don't have the time to make presents!

Oh, wait a minute..../snicker

Raucous round of applause! I plan to have all my catalog orders in by the end of November, and then that will be it for my purchases. (I can't stop my husband from shopping, but at least I won't be out there :-).
