I, too, was beginning to stress over Christmas... then the thought came to me- the People we love so much that we are buying Presents for are more important than the Presents.
I shared this thought with a Lady a little while later, and she contemplated what I said, then replied "You know, of all the presents I got when I was little, I might remember two dolls, maybe. It's the Family being together that I remember."
My grandkids won't get video games and new coats this year, and I doubt their Parents (my kids, grown up) will get the Restaurant Gift Certificates they are used to getting. But Mamaw will cook a Meal, and we'll all see each other again (hopefully). That will just have to be good enough, and I believe it will.
