My kids know that I want the same thing for all holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. It's what I really really hope for and it's what I expect I'll get. A hug! Nothing they could ever buy me would be as valuable!

I would have to plan a pretty major landscape project to keep me occupied
Then there would be shopping for plants for above mentioned project
I may just have to suggest to Mr Karla that we give it a try
He will be on vacation from Dec 13 till Jan 2 so it may be a possibility.

Yes, that would be lovely from time to time. I could relax and read and play with DS without a blaring TV or the noise of the radio running all day long.

I don't really hope for a special gift for Christmas. I wish we could have a peaceful time but I know that the in-laws will be causing problems again As for buying my own gift - it would probably be season 2-5 of Six Feet Under.

Oh my, it's the two wicker drawers under the coffee table. Well I have problems with all drawers in the house. Only those in the kitchen stay organized.

Easily! Would not bother me a bit. And maybe take about 5 million cell phones away from other people too if I could pry their ears off them for 5 seconds!

Oh boy, a Santa question. Dear Santa Clause, I want a casio keyboards with full size keyboards. And I am willing to buy it for myself. Also, I want a large doggie bed for my GSD.

That's easy. Our bar in the kitchen has become ground zero for chaos and crappola. It's disgusting. We barely have room to eat there!

Yep. We are probably one of the few that rarely uses a cell phone. The only time it goes on is if we are taking a trip or I'm out and about during the day. Even with it on, it barely gets useed. No one calls it. It's shut off otherwise. It is very rarely turned on on a weekend.
We've gone without computers too. When we went to Vegas this past summer, the laptops stayed home. This is the 3rd year in a row they didn't go with. We don't pay for internent service in hotels. If it ain't free, we don't take them. We just went back to Wisconsin for a few days and the hotel wanted 9 bucks a day for internet. No thanks.

Hubby and I don't do gifts. If we want something, we just go buy it. Why wait? We sometimes do Secret Santa with my family just so we have one thing to open, but it doesn't happen every year. Shopping for gifts isn't much fun anymore. No one ever really needs anything. We aren't a "high tech, fancy gadgets" type of family. When we do give gifts with family, we make it a rule to not buy gift cards. You might as well just hand the person a 20 dollar bill or whatever the limit might be. I think gifts are overrated.

Don't really have one. With no kids, we don't have a lot of "stuff." Everything has a place and we just put it in it's "spot."
