I stopped going downtown because I can't ever find a place to park that's not a mile away from the store I want to go into, especially if I'm wanting to sell items to Slackers. And the traffic is always so bad my car ends up overheating at the traffic lights...
Never had a big budget for holidays or birthdays. We have too much stuff already so we concentrate on time together and a few useful thoughtful gifts, often hand-made.
On Christmas, my kids often just ask me for meaningful advice. They are in their fifties, and they have learned enough to know, that they can always learn more. We still give each other the benefits of our skills that we have acquired over the years. These gifts are priceless, and they last forever.
Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. The celebration focuses on the Incarnation, or God becoming human.
You don't need money to celebrate that.
