We aren't there yet, but we're working on it. <BR/><BR/>This year my mom's main present is a certificate to come in and thoroughly clean her house once a month. My house doesn't get *thoroughly* cleaned once a month, but she has a very small house and a cat that sheds like crazy and keeps her allergic daughter and grandson from visiting more often or staying long. And she needs the help to stay on top of it. And I know her well enough to know she'll be thrilled rather than offended. She has good reasons for needing a little extra help. I already have the masks and allergy pills ready.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-89728004621409610682008-12-03T11:52:00.000-06:002008-12-03T11:52:00.000-06:00Thank you.

After discussion we decided to have a "white elephant" exchange which can be anything - handmade, recycled, etc. and it's just for fun. The little cousins are going to make an ornament and Christmas cookies to exchange. Can you believe they were okay with not shopping at the toy store?<BR/>This was a big relief because I didn't think a "no gifts" Christmas would fly with everyone.<BR/>Two days later, my husband lost his job. For the first time in our lives we have no income. Didn't think we'd ever be an unemployment statistic.<BR/>My dad grew up poor and always said the best gifts were homemade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-91686858912935777172008-12-03T00:09:00.000-06:002008-12-03T00:09:00.000-06:00Amen and Amen.I'm still recommending Unplug the Ch...Amen and Amen.<BR/>I'm still recommending Unplug the Christmas Machine.
