Our family really never had any extra money. Not that we were poor, but my parents weren't willing to spend money they didn't have on extravagant material things, and although I had some pangs about not having some of the stuff that my friends had, I'm so much better off now. I've grown up to be a person who places little value on material things and no value on owning anything for status reasons. I love Christmas. I love the warmth and family and food. I love watching someone open the present I got for them - not because it was the latest and greatest, but because I put a lot of thought into it and tried to think of something that would let them know that I love them and want them to be happy. My parents gave me the gift of values and that's better than a Cabbage Patch doll anyday. ps: I had no time this year and you're all getting GC's from WalMart Yup.

My parents are usually the ones to initiate the gatherings throughout the year, but there is usually a lot of back and forth before we can say what day it will happen due to work schedules, travel, and other random plans or events we have as individuals.

Though, the food & family time might be nice on the 25th, I prefer to do this whenever possible instead of a set day too. Also, BAH! HUMBUG!
