I'm so sorry your Christmas this year was not the greatest for you
I had a rather nice one, all things considered. Hubby suffered a traumatic injury back in September thanks to remnants in our area from Hurricane Rita and we've had to deal with a couple of surgeries (more scheduled for early '06) and medical bills. We opted to make sure our boys got what they wanted for Christmas and not worry about ourselves - our gift was received the day of the accident when the Lord was watching over him and spared him! But, despite our saying so, we did exchange a few gifts. I got a new pair of Merrell boots I wanted, a couple dvd boxed sets, and a new infusion lamp (like the Lamp Berge's).
Here's hoping the next Christmas if much better for you!
