For gifts, I usually spend a day or two in the kitchen making my very popular
(with friends) white chocolate fudge. Box them in 2 lb decorative containers
and give them to close friends and family.
Just my way of communicating to a few that they are very special to me.
The closest thing to a gift exchange was the white elephant gift exchange we had
at our user group Christmas Party a couple of weeks ago. That had a lot of
entertainment value.

| I am with you Jeffry, even if you spell your name funny.
|
| I really would prefer not to exchange gifts with mike even, it would be nice
to buy something together or maybe take a vacation together. We have skipped
gifts several years but this year he wanted to get me a video game system, so i
agreed to exchange gifts.
|
| And then there is his entire family to buy for. I find that irritating. They
give me hanukah presents on christmas, or stupid christmas ornaments. I dont'
get either logic - hanukah gifts are given at hanukah and its rather impolite
to give me christmas decorations.
|
| In any case, i did enjoy spending time with mikes nephews, niece and
grand-nephew!
|
| And eating GREAT turkey
|
| If you havent' brined a turkey before, I hghly recommend it.

| The vote is out on whether I'm a humbug or a grinch.
|
| I don't exchange gifts w/ anyone any more, so my Christmas haul was
| nothing.
| My siblings and I were brought up putting emphasis on the time we spent
| together as opposed to gifts. We cut out gift exchange a few years
| ago. We're all at a self-sufficient point. Anything that lies in the
| "affordable" price range we go out and buy. Other things are so
| specialized (Like Guitar Gear or computer equipment) that no one can pick
| it out but me. There are so few things on my "want" list under $500.
|
| I did get to spend Christmas Eve w/ my parents and brother. Christmas
| day w/ my gf and her family. It was all as relaxing as spending time w/
| family can be. ( When are you going to get a real job; when are you going
| to cut your hair, etc.. )
| I bought myself a video camera last month. That is my closest thing to a
| Christmas present I got. :-)
