As much as I hate to admit... you are right... we are getting old!!! It certainly makes me feel better that I am not alone in feeling this way. I don't want to sound like a bitter, cynical old woman but oh well, if thats what I sound like so be it! Lol

It certainly would be nice to just forget about the presents and everyone be fine with just spending time with their loved ones. I know no greater gift than that anyway.

Suffering is easier to take when you know others suffer with you ... lol
