DH works 20 hrs a week for a mission and a church where charitable giving has been reduced this year because of the economy. He received a $250 gift.
I work part-time for a financial planner (for the past 10 yrs) and instead of the usual christmas gift of $$$ his wife went shopping and bought the 2 of us in the office each a $19.99 3X sweater. I wear an XL and the other girl wears a L . He said that a sweater is more personal than $$$......OK, well, at least there's 2 new sweaters going to the mission clothing pantry. ;( |
