Things around here are usually a little tight at the end of each month, and this month is no different. I could borrow money to buy presents, but really did not want to go into debt, so we decided to have an inexpensive gift exchange. We shopped at the Dollar General store and bought presents for three adults for $72.00 total.
I found myself anticipating Christmas Day more than I ever have, except when I was a child. I couldn't wait to see what my wife got me. I certainly did not need anything, but yet, she found something I love.
I also anticipated her opening her present as I know it was something that she wants, but on the other hand, it was not expensive. She loved it.
This “economy” Christmas has turned out to be the best we have had in years. I have also learned to ignore the commercialism, the expensive presents and savor the true spirit of Christmas. Thank you God.
