We don't really know what to do for Christmas. We have been helping all three children through high school and college financially and I almost think that is a big enough gift in and of itself. My youngest is a high school senior and we'll help her in her college endeavors also.
Because we've always "done" Christmas I'm afraid they expect something but my husband also has not been working for 9 months (early retirement) so the income is a bit low right now. Oh, my 17 yo just walked into the room so let me ask her a minute.
She said "I don't need anything, no gift cards, nothing would be ok. The move to a different home is a good present." Wow, I didn't expect that!
I think we might be fine with no gifting this year!
