This--- we do not get to see any family until Feb. so rather than stay home and feel pittyful we are going to drive around giving out money to homeless, or just looking like they need it people, to cheer us up. |

If so what do you do?

Oh you bet we Celebrate Christmas, me and hubby and our sons if our oldest is not working and their families, we all go to the square here in town and listen to Christmas songs and sing alongs that our church puts on on Christmas Eve its so much fun, then we have Christmas here at the house and have fun watching the grandkids open their presents and then Santa pays a visit...
Hubby and I have been married for 35 years, we buy all year long what we want, but Christmas is the celebration of baby Jesus, so we celebrate the birth of Christ and each other and our family. |

| We were walking through Best Buy and my fiance spotted a Keurig he wanted - so I told him I would purchase it as his Christmas gift. I also had already bought him two Cinch western shirts, a Cinch hoodie, and two pairs of cinch jeans, since he NEVER buys clothes for himself lol.
He bought me a Nikon DSLR camera that I was eyeing up. |

I am not criticizing or judging, I am wondering does the no gifts impact the spirit of Christmas? Doesn't impact the spirit of Christmas at all. I buy for my kids, ages 22-26 and my parents. The grand baby is only 8 months old so he does not know what Christmas is, he lives next door and I buy him something for him every other day. I bought him a ton of stuff but already showed it to my daughter. My husband and I really do buy what we want all year. He makes a ton of money and I am quite spoiled. While buying for others this Christmas, I found quite a few things for myself ????. I spend a lot of money, I would say his gift is he never complains about the gigantic cc bill. ( we do pay it off every month, never pay interest) and my gift to him is you don't have to shop for me, I already took care of that. I did buy him some Columbia pullovers-nothing big or exciting.

Location: La Frontera | I got my husband a table saw and a couple weeks ago he bought one for himself. So he got his Christmas present early. Since he wasn't going to have anything under the tree I got him a few shirts, a new hat, some spices and a light for the grill.
His birthday is the day after Christmas and I got him 5 laps around a racetrack in an Aston Martin! He loves super cars so that should be a blast. |

My husband and I don't exchange presents for Christmas or birthdays. Like so many others said we'll buy what we want/need throughout the year.
Aside from that yes we definitely celebrate Christmas. As I get older I recognize more of the traditions that we used to "have" to do as kids, now I see as stepping stones to the excitement of Christmas. The community carol sing at church 3 weeks ago that leads to the adult choir cantata a week ago which leads to the children's Christmas program yesterday. We have a party Tuesday, Thursday and Friday with families. We used to exchange presents at every party and it got to a point where we were spending a lot of money on "nothing" cause no one knew what to buy each other. We put an end to it with 2 parties and the other party we can only spend $15 per present.

| Coal. I got him coal.
Actually, I haven't bought him anything yet, and have no clue what to get him, and I'm starting to panic slightly. In truth, I might just have to get him coal so he has something to unwrap!
