You're welcome to chime in, but my readership (all four of you) is AWFULLY quiet in the comments section, so i'm okay to just survey myself.
Question: How much is the change in the global financial market affecting your decisions surrounding the holidays?
Answer: Not that much.
We already had our plane tickets, and reservations for where we're going for Thanksgiving, and I make all sorts of desperate appeals to my family to limit the number of gifts and stuff every year. Every year I exasperate my sister to no end, as I propose new gifting rules, and in the end, the only people I really truly can buy/get things for with absolute certainty that they will love them are the three and ahalf year old and one year old men in my life. George? never quite sure what will make him thrilled. But maybe that's just because I can't give him a big bike ride in the middle of a workday as a present! Oh by the way, his BIRTHDAY is tomorrow!

Our Christmas plans have not been changed much. But it has definitely changed my grocery shopping habits. My list is a lot more premeditated, and I try to do without any extras.
Happy birthday to George!!!
Happy Birthday, George!
Holiday plans for us haven't changed either. We'll still head to MN at some point, but we'll drive instead of fly. I'll hope to cut down on the "spending" on gifts and spend more on the "personalization."
Love the survey.
Oh, *Nerd Talk Alert* I noticed an option to put a poll into your blog. But I'm sure you knew about that. If you find the secret to getting people to comment, let me know. :)
