You are so right. I think what you did is perfect. I, too, did not go overboard this year. My kids are grown, but I take care of two little ones and did not go nuts this year. They are happy and content. Too much commercialism for everyone anyway. My greatest gift this year was from the heart - my DH knew that I was missing my Jr. year HS yearbook from 35 years ago (yes, I'm getting up there). He went to a local junk store and found one for $15.00. That meant more to me than the rest of the things he got me put together. Also, my favorite aunt, from whom I had been estranged due to her wayward granddaughter, called me on Christmas Eve and talked for 55 minutes and 27 seconds. That gift is definitely priceless. I hope you and yours have a blessed 2008, as well as all MQ MT and QA people. Happy New Year!!
