This is NOT good, this is NOT what the Holidays are all about. I commented on it yesterday. I would not EVER want to be in that situation. If you can’t afford it….leave it where it lies.

I always hated to get a gift I didn’t want, not because I didn’t want it but because I knew the giver had wasted money on me for no reason whatsoever.

I only participate in gift exchanges where I can recycle (nice) items I already own, along with last year’s gift wrapping paper etc. I have enough supplies for many years to come in spite of the fact that I also donate stuff constantly.

Let’s see, husband is a Police Officer, wife is a Surgical Nurse, no extravagant house, they do have four kids, but have support from the grandparents. So why are they not paying their credit cards off each month? Looks like Marci and Joe need to set down and write a budget.

Mr. Hanky, the Christmas poo of holiday consumerism, must be so proud.
