Oh yeah, I suggested the Secret Santa thing a few years ago. We always exchange lists of what everyone wants, and the adults (my sisters and I, and our spouses) were all kind of having a hard time coming up with things we wanted or needed, since, yaknow, we're adults and can buy things for ourselves now! One sister has no kids, one lives far away and has kids but doesn't make the effort to keep in touch, another sister lives closer, so it's only her kids I need to buy for, and they always have inexpensive things on their lists like small toys or books. DH usually picks a bottle of scotch as a present, and I pick something for myself as well. My present is already done for the year, lol. I wanted a new expensive handbag, so I got that as my bday/anniversary/Christmas present already, and I won't really get anything at Christmas time.
I do miss the magic of Christmas as a kid, but I still enjoy the season a lot. I'll do a tree and maybe a few other things. I want to buy some new ornaments/lights. I've been wanting to do white lights, with a red/gold theme, but DH likes the multicolored lights. However, he never helps with decorating the tree! So this year I'm doing what I want to do!
