Can we buy anything at Amazon through your link?

I'm planning on buying a large screen TV somewhere in the next six months from Amazon. Mind if I let you know ahead of time?

Maybe for someone's birthday. But when it comes to Christmas, a lot of us pretty much resent having to buy stuff for adults who would probably rather get stuff OUT of their lives - so some restrict it to one present to each couple, for example.

And as for the suggestion some make to give Xmas presents only to children.....

"DH and I are the only childless couple on that side of the family. And I don't care how selfish it makes me sound... I am not going to buy people presents if I have no expectation of getting anything in return.

"To me, a big part of the fun of Christmas is the present exchange. (emphasis on exchange) I am not a present-producing-machine, and if you tell me that I am good enough to get presents for all of your kiddies, but not good enough for you to get me something... then I will refuse to participate and not get anyone anything.

"And I keep having to go over this over and over again and listen as relatives gasp in shock at what a grinch I am and how selfish to 'demand gifts' and how 'Christmas is really just for the kids'... ugh.

"Just ugh.

"My feelings are my feelings and sometimes I feel like the holidays are the worst time of the year to have no kids, and there is no time of year when the childless/childfree are less appreciated...

"Can I get a bah, humbug?

"(Man... maybe I should have posted this in the 'I need a hug' thread...)"
