[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9226347, member: 19675"] This might be the last “BIG” Christmas our family does. Mom went a little coo-coo with the credit cards*, then got upset with herself for doing so.😂 So next year- and possibly for the foreseeable future- gift cards may become the primary presents, and our list may shrink. We sent out some gift cards to (literally) distant family members. We designed (and had made) necklaces for a handful of friends & family. Some people got warm throws; some got booze. I also spent a lot of time in the kitchen**, making a nut & fruit trail mix, bread puddings, a seasoning mix, and Louisiana hot sausage for gifts. Those were slated for friends, family, neighbors and doctors. We sent each of my (closest) male cousins a pair of Sperry shoes. On the more charitable side, we got some art supplies and some clothes for some kids through our church’s “Angel Tree” program. Each kid had listed a “Need” and a “Want”, which we covered, and Dad insisted we get each a decent (Texas) winter jacket, so we did. The one decision I still have to make is whether I give my folks the jewelry I got them on Christmas or on their birthdays, which are just weeks apart in early 2024. It’s either that, or some nifty patriotic t-shirts featuring their favorite animals that I picked up. (I’m leaning towards the jewelry for Christmas.) * to be clear, while we spent $$$$, we’re also pretty good bargain hunters who shop sales year round, so what we spent got stretched pretty far. ** right now, the house is a wreck, and we’re hosting a small Christmas dinner gathering on Monday. So yes, I’ll be BACK in the kitchen!🤣 [/QUOTE]
