[QUOTE="fedup, post: 110608, member: 17"] Other than the fact our older son didn't contact us, and we haven't heard from him since late summer or early fall, we had a good holiday. No one asked to open gifts early, for a change. difficult child had little money, but his sister provided gifts for him to give, as well as a couple I got for him to give. It was simply NOT a matter of him not giving gifts, rather purely a lack of funds. Our exchanges were a lot smaller than in the past. Most of us have realized that too many gifts lead to a letdown later. Everyone was pleased with what they got. I think we all are realizing that wanting what we have is more important than having what we want. Having the family together, even if only for a couple of hours is the greatest gift. We had no raised voices or meltdowns for Xmas. We even toned down dinner- less stress for the cook (hubby). Lower expectatins led to greater happiness. [/QUOTE]
