I've been watching the news about all the crazy shoppers out on black Friday. First of all I'm amazed every year at what some people will do to buy the latest and greatest gifts. They remind me of animals.
This year I made a decision to spend a much smaller amount. I've been wanting to do it for years, but didn't want to be considered "a tight wad". It just seems to me that all this commercial Christmas hype is demeaning to the real purpose of Christmas.
So, with the excuse of a recently layed off husband, I bought less expensive gifts. I feel so liberated! I sometimes wish that except for children, gift giving for adults be omitted. There was no stress over the budget, no hunting and hunting for the perfect gift - it's wonderful!!
Wish I'd done this years ago!
