Well, I’ve decided to keep it simple this year because every time I try to give nice gifts, I end up receiving cheap gifts or no gifts at all. Honestly, I don’t mind that. I’d rather get a cheap gift than no gift at all, or a handmade card saying “I love you,” or just a hug with the words, “This is your Merry Christmas present.” However, I’m not going to overextend myself anymore because I really don’t have a lot of money, and I simply can’t afford it.
I tell my grandkids who live with me that Christmas is for rich people, so I might end up finding some inexpensive items that they can play with, even if they break them in half an hour or an hour. At least they’ll be happy.
I got them some socks and underwear, as well as $5.00 games from Walmart like Connect 4, Sorry, and Candy Land. I can’t remember the others. There are no portable screens in my house—just one TV. Honestly, they seem so deprived, but the funny thing is that they like my rules. Their mom didn’t give them a bedtime, didn’t make them go to school every day, and believed every fake tummy ache. My rule is: if you want to stay home sick, you need to have the school nurse call me to pick you up. I did let one stay home when their temperature was 101, though.
Yes, yes it is!!!
/giphy absolutely
Maybe.

I don’t do Christmas so
Not so much.
I just bought 2 things and then bought an IRK, seeing how it would be half off.
@somf69 regift the IRK without opening it.

The meaning of Christmas has been lost through rich kids.
