A 9 year old wouldn't understand that there is no Christmas tree in grandma's house ! Otherwise it was cool, as I didn't have to do anything. Toby becomes a boy now and his French is excellent. We now can have real conversations ! He always laughs when I try some Dutch, because I speak with a German accent !

But for each other we just decided we were buying for buying's sake and we didn't need to do that.

Everyone is fine with less.<br />Re: presents. For several years now, we have done present exchanges. The Professor sets up the exchange and we only buy ONE present for one person. It relieve a lot of stress. And we really don't need more stuff.<br />Merry Christmas!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682078495020586802.post-85084717847114529332019-12-22T15:09:12.953+00:002019-12-22T15:09:12.953+00:00Thanks Terri.

We do stockings, just for fun. I would much rather go out after Christmas and take advantage of the holiday sales! Sounds like you will have a lovely Christmas day! I love having lots of folks around the table on the holidays! Do take some pictures for us!!Terri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682078495020586802.post-81741668833087490782019-12-21T22:56:13.483+00:002019-12-21T22:56:13.483+00:00I've decorated today - no tree but lights, can...I've decorated today - no tree but lights, candles etc.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103884780854638066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682078495020586802.post-10824369135672962582019-12-21T22:55:34.754+00:002019-12-21T22:55:34.754+00:00Thanks LindaThanks LindaWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103884780854638066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682078495020586802.post-28733811740420637362019-12-21T22:55:21.762+00:002019-12-21T22:55:21.762+00:00Thanks Faith.

We do Christmas idea lists for each other, and I know what you mean--there really wasn't much I needed. I hope everyone's travels continue to go well. I can get stressed over big meals, too--planning ahead does help.

Three of us have gifts as either our primary love language or secondary love language!! Plus we love the symbolism of giving a gift like God gave us His Greatest Gift, <br />If you're unfamiliar with love languages i highly recommend the book The Five Love Langauges by Gary Chapman, <br />Good luck with that big group of people. Sounds like all will be great!! <br /><br />Merry Christmas!!,<br />Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608258814596465122noreply@blogger.com
