We are doing a very scaled back Christmas this year... Cash and gas cards for my two new drivers, and some stocking stuffers. Brother and sister are chipping in for a new TV for Mom. Not doing gifts between the families. Fiscally responsible holiday this year. The kids have all been advised. Hoping it will be a lesson about the true meaning of the season, and the realities of life.... (Besides, anything we've bought in the past is usually not seen again... tough to buy for 16 year olds.)
