Is anyone participating? This year we are passing on in-person and have cut WAY back on spending. For me, $38 even with tax, a Norelco wet/dry shaver from Target. That's it. And no gifting for each other this year. 1/2 of that money gets saved and the other half? Canned goods for a local food bank.
No altruism here per se. It's just that there are so many hurting people in close view in the 85006- and all across America - there are better purposes for money than consumerism. Rob
