                Very well put!  And about that icing - too much tends to give one a tummy ache!  If ya know what I mean?!

                    Passionflower, I know what you mean...
                
                There are so many confusing and dysfunctional behaviors that come out this time of year!  Parents and kids who are held hostage emotionally by the season!

                    Dollar stores are ideal if it is all about quantity...

                    I saw a woman at Goodwill buying her kid's presents...
                
                    Even then she wasn't able to get them everything they wanted. It made me sad.
  Kids these days don't appreciate anything they have.

                    The meaning of Christmas isn't under the tree. It is in your heart.
                
                Merry Christmas!
