What ever happened to the good old fashioned Christmas present? When I ask people ... Say what are you giving for Christmas almost everyone has said cash. What's happened to putting a little thought into the gift? Isn't that what it's all about? Some of these people are giving cash to kids between the ages 4yrs to 13yrs. I think that's just silly. What do you think?
It is just a sign of the times. The world moves at a very fast pace these days. People have less time for things and they have so much to accomplish in the few waking hours we have every day. In our family there are 9 children from newborn to the age of 13. All of the adulsts got together to decide who should buy what for each child. My son is the 13 year old and he basically figures he can pool all of the holiday money he will get from everyone to buy himself some video games or an Ipod. No one is going to buy him an Ipod, but we can each contribute $20 so he can get it himself!
