Please please please people remember that its not what you give, it is in the spirit in which you gave it that counts.

I'd much rather give someone that they can use more than once than give them something that won't last and they will end up re-gifting or donating.

Honestly, I shop later and later and buy less and less with each passing year. In my opinion, Christmas has no more value.

The only thing I want for Christmas is to see my brother find a place to live and get out of the correctional system. I have asked the universe for this with no luck. This is the only thing that will bring a smile to my face for christmas and no item that I receive will ever be able to match.

Sorry for going a bit off topic. Cash is the way to go if you have to buy anything.
