Message: [QUOTE="Crispy, post: 209070, member: 24848"] I think about it alot. It is the reason for the season. Yes, the stress is there... did I buy the perfect gift? Is it the right size? Then comes the money stress... I spent how much? But, then there is joy of seeing your friends and family opening that gift you spent so much time to find. But the best part for me is a tradition in my family.... "The envelope in the tree". Every year, I take some of the money I have set aside for presents and donate it to a worthy charity in the name of my family and I find or write a stroy of hope, love and the true meaning of Christmas to go with it. It helps us all to put the reason for the season back in our heads and realize how fortunate we are. Maybe I am a kid at heart but I love Christmas! [/QUOTE]
