    ...Mrs. George and I were talking this evening.

    "Just to be clear, we're not getting each other gifts, right?"

    "Right. We're at the point where, if we want something, we just get it. The last thing we need is more crap cluttering up the place."

    "Agreed. Whatever money we were going to spend on each other, we're spending on kids and grandkids, right?"

    "Right."

    "Good. That makes things a LOT simpler."

    "Right. I don't need a gift to know that you love me."

    "Same here."

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Bupkis.

          BTW: We've done this for at least 3 years running. Works great.

          No stress, no guessing, no disappointments.

            MFR is cleaning up this year. A couple sweaters she wanted, some jewelry, a really nice fleece from Talbots and a couple madly expensive exquisite white Burgundies.

            I only asked for a few things, one being a nice Cognac. I’m out.

              Rachel and I had a non-gifting pact from early on.
