Wife and I have been cutting back on gift exchange as after 40 years of present buying we're both pretty well at a loss as to what to buy each other. I did get her a day (well, maybe a half day) at the local spa.

I bought myself a Tamarak walking stick to take on my dog walks and a Jetboil PCS for when Ziggy (my dog, not the DW) and I go trail walking.

DD1 got an extra paycheck (she works for me) and DD2 some money to get her home from Alaska for a visit (it will be almost a year since we've seen her by the time she gets home).

For my sibs and their spouses we donated in their names to charity that would leverage our money 10-fold or more towards clothing, food and school supplies for folks overseas.

It was a quiet Christmas but peaceful. Still trying to dispose of 12 dozen cookies DW got at a cookie exchange. Going to need to do a lot of dog walking...
