The upcoming holidays

I got a lovely email from my sister, Jennifer today about Christmas plans and then towards the end of the email, “Please don’t buy me an expensive gift.  With the economy the way it is, I would love to get a keychain, or a candle, or (some yummy) homemade fudge!“  And I thought, what a great idea.

So, family and friends, as we are heading into the holiday season, I want all of you to know that I would prefer not to get presents this year.  Send me a pretty card, or a recent photo of you and your loved ones.  Write me a poem.  Or if you find your Christmas simply won’t be complete without sending something, then give me a small Christmas tree ornament, either homemade or bought, that can dance happily on my tree and be a part of our Christmas celebration.

But nothing more than that.  I have enough stuff and don’t want you wasting your money on buying me more.  No presents please.  I know you love me.  xo
