[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 221957, member: 179"] Meow and Daisy...are you sure you don't live in WI?:raspberry-tounge: I've watched my mother in law set up and tear down Halloween, Thanksgiving and is now doing Christmas in her home. She complains about it all the time but still does it. When my daughter was here over Thanksgiving she counted 51 things in this tiny bathroom. I'm sorry, but I just don't do it. So you say not to participate? I don't, but then feel guilty when others do for me. It's been clearly stated for years that I'd rather have the gesture gone to others who are in need but nope...stubborn family members. H's family is having the traditional big family thing. I am SOOOO not looking forward to it. I don't want to sit in a room with endless gifts and me wanting to be at the local shelter helping others. Give them a MEAL or a scarf or gloves or socks. I don't need that stuff. They do. What I'd like to do is gather and have some good conversation and enjoy being with each other. Nope...everyone is stressed to the hilt as to whether they bought the right thing or not. Nonsense. I guess I'm an official Scrouge. Abbey [/QUOTE]
