Including if you don't celebrate. Just a normal day for you then?

If you do celebrate, was it a good time, or did something ruin it?

Hopefully it went well. If not, just tell them the cookies were delicious but they didn't deserve them

Thank you! Fortunately (?) it turns out almost everyone was broke this year so it wasn't like I was being showered with gifts and giving nothing in return. The kids had a lot of fun and didn't notice I didn't shop for them, thank goodness ๐Ÿ˜…

Sometimes I worry I've set a high bar for gifts because they're into a lot of the same things I was into as a kid, so I have an easier time finding stuff they like than say, their grandma who can't tell Marx from Beam Kirby. They're different round pink jesters with smiley faces, grandma!!!
