Jean, since we have no kids & everyone else is gone pretty much then it's just gifts for each other. This is the 1st time in about 4 or 5 years too. If we need/want something, we pretty much buy it so come Christmas there really aren't "things" but this year we actually put up a tree --- a "real" one that shiver me timbers! we got ( a very nice 6' frasier fir) for 20 bucks! It's hard to beat $20 for a real tree, in fact I've never before seen one for that amount of this type & size. And the way we do presents is...... he wanted this & picked it out & doesn't get it till he opens it on Christmas; I wanted that & picked it out & we bought it or I ordered it & when it comes, I hand it to him & say it's for Christmas. I don't get to look at it until I open it for Christmas. He has all mine wrapped but I haven't done any of his. Course, yesterday, I helped him wrap 2 of mine.
We bought a new bird bath back in Sept. or Oct. but we just stick it in the coat closet & we have now wrapped it & it's under the tree. That's a gift for both of us.
