[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 612415, member: 1550"] To Janet (and everyone else): Don't feel bad about the gifts. The only one who is getting a big present from us is grandson. In fact, he will probably get a few, including necessities like new clothes (he is a big boy...at age five he is in a seven and he keeps growing). 36 is broke this year because of the now completed custody battle (he kept 50% custody). We won't see 36 or Grandson on the holidays though unless 36 drives to Chicago, which is the halfway point for both of us. He never has before, no reason to expect it now. He is afraid to drive long distances (shrug). difficult children!!!!!!! The rest of us decided that this year we will either give home made gifts or heart felt ones, but not spend a lot of money. If I like anything about Thanksgiving and Christmas it is the family feeling and love, not the gifts. Black Friday is another good topic!!! We only went out on Black Friday once, by the way!! But we are traveling to Chicago on boyfriend this year so we may stop off in Janesville for a while and then go to a few stores around our motel once we get into Illinois. This is the only time Jumper (and Sonic when he comes with) ever see big malls. There are no two-story malls anywhere near our neck of the woods. Nada :) [/QUOTE]
