Thank you! I just forwarded the link to my son, who has PLEADED with us to keep in simple this year because he and his wife are on a tight budget--plus he teaches American History and I thought he'd enjoy this little piece of it.

I have to say, I'm feeling more relaxed this year with the pressure off--or I would feel relaxed if I hadn't replaced shopping for stuff with a lot of time consuming DIY stuff that probably is barely going to be done by Christmas.
