thebramble | REDONDO BEACH, CAThis doesn't surprise me given the fact that people are struggling to get by to just pay for groceries, etc. We decided to stop buying gifts years ago and focus on family time together. We're all much less stressed now that we're not so caught up in the materialism that Christmas has become.

jthom118 | OWENSBORO, KYWe can celebrate by singing "Happy Birthday!" That effort doesn't cost anything except your time. Jesus is the reason for the Holiday, Right? He's coming back, soon, but not as a baby again. Are you ready?
