memories are the best christmas gifts.

i have done things like copy my greatgrandmother's and grandmothers recipes to give to my girls.

last christmas i even made a photo album for my x husband with all the copies of pictures i had of our kids, his family or with him in them. i didn't even spit on it before giving it to him. aren't you proud of me?

doydie, we stopped doing adult gifts years ago. we donate to to a charity. i will tell ya...my in-laws were NOT happy about this.

i'm in the same boat...hubby didn't buy me a birthday/anniversary gift ( got married on my birthday) or christmas gift last last year. it will be the same this year. he doesn't take the kids shopping for mother day gift either. yeppers hon...the givers in the family aren't on the recieving end very often.
