Actually, we bought two bedroom suits this last November. With all the accessories. We are chillin and happy. Tomorrow is a turkey day and I can't wait to be a piglet! Merry Xmas to all and to all a good night! P.S. We went without furniture for four years while fixing up the house. So good to have comfort. |

INK3 User ID: 25650162 United States 12/24/2012 08:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We cut way back too. I baked my husband's favorite cakes and pies, got him new PJs and underwear. He got me practical gifts as well. I'm very happy with what we're giving each other. Tomorrow, we'll have a nice Christmas dinner with our kids, give each other very useful presents, and totally enjoy the day.

Should have a good idea of the next year in about 2 weeks. I'm hoping my work doesn't have to have another layoff, just had 1 in November. I'm not a Christian. I respect your religion and holiday and don't mean to take anything away from what you practice. But please show the same respect for my traditions (buying gifts) |

Debauchery User ID: 15455863 United States 12/24/2012 08:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16499015 United States 12/24/2012 09:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My parents never buy anything for each other and even as a kid I never saw them exchange much. My father always said "I refuse to be obligated to buy her something but rather I would like to buy her things when I want too" So he might buy her a fur coat but at the start of November instead of a date corrupted with corporate greed and pagan holidays. I also don't like getting gifts or giving them as I 1) hate corporations that make holidays all about material things and 2) as a Christian I don't like participating in a pagan tradition that the Catholic church "created" to form Pagan religions and Christianity together. |

It's amazing how many holidays are corrupted with pagan worships and traditions. |

The wife will have fun helping put lego's together for the next two weeks. I'll fix us a good breakfast tomorrow followed by a good dinner! It's all good though, as long as the kids have a special day tomorrow that's all that matters. =) |

Knives and forks in the doors and etc. Sorry you missed it. Better luck next year. |
