My husband and I stopped giving gifts to our adult family the year we got married and have done some great things with the money instead. I even did a giveaway on my blog in conjunction with this year's charity: http://jonandlaura.blogspot.com/2008/10/third-blogiversaryanniversary-giveaway.html We've tried very hard to get our family on board but they think we're weird hippies (as usual).

Any jackass can buy a gift, it takes a real special person to accept one. Check out my wish list at Amazon. I like to think of the holiday season as one of getting more than giving.

We trimmed back considerably this year. But I aimed for giving some good handmade gifts this year. I made a set of notecards for my sister-in-law and cross-stitched some towels for my sister's kitchen. But fortunately, the YMCA does take Visa, Mastercard, and (I think) American Express!

We also let the kids each pick a charity to share their Christmas love with. It feels good for all of us. You KNOW I’m 10000% behind you on this one!

The best Christmas I ever had was when my wife and I agreed to make our presents for one another. At the same time, a group of friends and I adopted a family for the Holidays. It rocked!
