Glad to hear you don't think I'm a Scrooge/Grinch hybrid. Clearly you already understand how hard it is to get gifts for people, especially those who go out and buy what they want or need themselves - like your Dad.

There comes a time when you realize you don't need or want any more "stuff." I have a house full of "stuff." Some of it's useful, some not. When my Mom died and we were cleaning out her house I asked my brothers to tell me what they wanted so I could put a label on it and reserve it for them. I thought I had a pretty good idea of who would want what, but boy was I ever wrong! They did not want the things I thought they would want and wanted things I never would have guessed they'd want. I guess I didn't know them as well as I thought I did. But the truth is we didn't take all that much. We didn't have room for it was the primary reason. We all had plenty of "stuff" and didn't need any more. We donated a lot of things and wound up throwing a lot of things away. It made me realize I needed to get rid of some of my "stuff" as well. I certainly don't want to add any more to it unless it's something that I absolutely love and gives me great pleasure.

Good luck with your Christmas dinner at your grandparents home. I do like broccoli, but detest brussell sprouts. Not to sound gross or anything but to me it's like eating a fart with leaves. Try not to think of that when you see them at dinner table. You could either bust out laughing and no one would no why or you could turn green. Neither one would be good.

Keep on posting. Have a very merry Christmas!
