I thought of something to add here-
One year things were tight. I did not have two PICTURES of nickels to rub together. I cannot recall the year, but somehow I scraped up some $$ and on Christmas Eve, my daughter and myself went shopping. Since it was so late in the year, we opted to head to the local drug store. This was a Brooks at that time, but they merged with others and Brooks is gone from the scene now. They had a section in the back where there were trinkets and treasures seasonally offered.
I did all of my wife's gifts there that year, and my daughter and I then wrapped them together. I know we are not supposed to be caught up in the commercialism and gifts only, but that year it was different, and it was very nice.
