Parents are 84 (one has Parkinson's so he can't use anything like ipad or whatever) ..son is 37 and I am sure he'd just want money.

Other than that..... Dontknow
Plus the Christmas tree that I didn't leave for the neighbors to take (because the truck was too full Annoyed ) is still in the warehouse in Denver waiting for the stupid moving company to bring it with the rest of my stuff to MI.
So.. no decorations, no cards, no hoard of stamps and addresses Stick Out Tongue

laugh out loud

There's the Christian Christmas which is supposed to celebrate the birth of Jesus (although it probably wasn't in December). Then there's the corporate created Christmas in which everyone is brainwashed into thinking that you need to buy gifts. Some take it to the extreme and that's what the corportaions want.

I know it's hard to remember this. It seems everyone is pushing for tolerance for everything except Christianity.
