Comments on: Walmart is rich enough http://loveandblunder.com/2007/11/13/walmart-is-rich-enough/ "To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair." - Walker Percy, The Moviegoer Sun, 23 Nov 2008 15:54:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Devona http://loveandblunder.com/2007/11/13/walmart-is-rich-enough/#comment-4005 Devona Sat, 17 Nov 2007 14:15:12 +0000 http://loveandblunder.com/2007/11/13/walmart-is-rich-enough/#comment-4005 The photographer sounds like a wonderful gift. I'd love that gift. Holidays are so hard. We know what we want them to be, but we have to be honest about what they have actually become. The photographer sounds like a wonderful gift.

Really I do. Like Polly's family, my ILs. . . well. . . it's important to Hubby to do things his family's way when we have Christmas with them. This year, though, I think we're going to give to each of the families a photo sitting and 8x10 as our gift (for all of us together, and then each sub-family.) I have a photographer I know who does beach family sittings, and I think it will be a good compromise for what we value and what they value, kwim? And we'll get stuff for their kids.

You obviously cannot buy a handmade copy of a CD or Book. But I am buying all of the girls' toys from craftsmen and/or making them myself. I heard a new term on etsy: craftivism. I love it.

I'm already starting to get depressed about Christmas. The InLaws have a huge gift exchange and they are very into conspicuous consumption. Over the years I have made matching flannel nightshirts for everybody, knitted hats, mittens, fleece hats, cornhole games, food baskets -- running out of energy and ideas! It’s a wonderful idea.
