To be honest I did spend more on the not-wife than usual - a pen she had been hankering after. At the end of the day it was an anti climax 0- it always is.<BR/><BR/>Both of us have gotten into the habit of purchasing most of our presents on-line. It's a lot more convenient, especially since the sort of gits we get each other are often just not available in high street shops.jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-83751483349483923972007-12-28T16:08:00.000+00:002007-12-28T16:08:00.000+00:00EWLEWL< I NEVER freak out over baking and cleaning.

Well, the retail holiday sales figures are in and sure enough things were really slow and retailers had to slash prices big time just to get people into their stores.<BR/><BR/>I mostly bought practical items like clothes for my girls and new boots for my sons. No Chinese lead toys for us. We're messed up enough. :)<BR/><BR/>In cae you're wondering, although most shoes here are imported from China, my boys boots were made in Mexico.....just like Papi!elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-40791222503619914232007-12-28T05:06:00.000+00:002007-12-28T05:06:00.000+00:00Due to unforseen crap, Christmas almost didn't hap...Due to unforseen crap, Christmas almost didn't happen for the Infidel kids this year. And you know what? I wasn't sorry about it either. We kept things very low key and simple and I didn't freak out over baking, cleaning, and shopping at all. The kids got gifts and everyone else in the family agreed to not give the adults gifts and that was that.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-49756543612138952212007-12-27T22:34:00.000+00:002007-12-27T22:34:00.000+00:00About Mark I heard.
