DS wants to go see Wicked again and it is coming to our city over the Christmas holiday. Single tickets go on sale this coming Monday, so I will be getting him two tickets (best centered location I can get) -- makes Christmas shopping pretty darn easy. I'll just get something small for DH (his favorite chocolate covered almonds from private school fund raiser where DS used to attend) and for my dad I'll just get something little - not sure what yet. And for my brother and his family, I just sent over priced Harry and David pears. I've cut out any exchange with anyone else and give cash to a few people with card who do services for us. I've really cut back and am super happy not do be buying stuff just to be buying stuff. I don't like shopping DS is 24, though, so I totally get the gifts and Christmas magic for young kids in the home (always felt like a lot of work to me and always felt like it was pretty inefficient - lots of stuff they didn't really ever use, so kind of nice for me to have all that over for a while - easy/peasy).
