nothing at all?

i'm beginning to think they're onto something here (more - er - religious-oriented info here.)

and i'm not thinking that because i've suddenly bought into "the reason for the season" (gawd no. i'm no canadian mennonite. i must drink.). i'm just wondering if it's just all "too much." the buying. the frantic shopping. the wrapping. the packing. the sending. the opening. the wanting. the must-haves. the "how could theys?" and especially this. you know i've been on a kick to give only handmade gifts. well, i'm not doing that well on that (just forget i said that), but this just might be the prime opportunity for improvement. last year, due to financial constraints (that's a euphemism) we gave cds to our family members and gave toys to the kids. it worked out famously. unfortunately, my own personal wishlist was no less than 30 items so i guess i'm a complete hypocrite. well, my heart is in the right place, people.
