Dear Beth,
I really do not do the holidays at all.
Last year the ONLY gesture I took toward the holiday was to add cash for the little end of the year present for the secretary at work.
Otherwise I did nothing for the holidays.
Still, I get stressed and I don't know why.
I find the decorations in the stores annoying, the traffic a mess, . . .
I think this year hubby and I might have Thanksgiving and New Year's at my friend's house..(I sort of owe her a favor or lost a bet I'm not sure which.)
I will be expected to contribute to the Thanksgiving meal by going shopping with her to buy the ingredients but I do not plan on cooking anything.

Oh that is so disappointing.
We want to give gifts that people appreciate.

A hotel for Thanksgiving and then a cruise around Christmas time sounds great.
