Craptastic Christmas

I'm feeling a bit down tonight. I love to open presents, and it seems that each year I have less and less things to open. Of course a lot of my presents came from my parents (which my mom bought) but now that my mom's gone, and dad doesn't shop, we got $ from him. Now don't get me wrong, I'd much rather get $ than a bunch of junk presents that I can't use. I just felt a bit jipped I suppose on the opening of presents this year. I got a nice PartyLite Christmas tree with some magnetic ornaments and tealights from Trin and ghraper. My mom's parents gave me a cute purse with an L on it and a $25 gift card to WalMart. My mother in law gave me a glass bowl thing with 3 floating candles. And my father in law and his girlfriend have me a gift basket from bath and body works. I got nothing from my dad's parents and nothing from my brother in law and his family. My hubby and I also did not exchange gifts this year due to finances, or lack there of. I used to look so forward to Christmas and opening presents. Christmas this year just didn't seem right somehow. It never felt like Christmas for me. And now it's over. O well. Time to move on. I'm hoping that 2005 brings a better year than the one that is ending. The only good thing that came out of 2004 for me is my son!
