One thing I remember about that age was loving when people treated me like I was older, so I'd look for the kind of thing you'd think for a teenager: hip room accessories (those French memo boards with the ribbons that hold everything in place are always a hit), a scrapbook kit, some inexpensive jewelry, a small purse, or maybe a nice journal with a cool pen. Hopefully these ideas will at least spark inspiration, even if none of them really work for you. Some of my favorite gift ideas for the broke: - Design personalized stationery on your computer and print it out on inexpensive cardstock. (Don't forget envelopes.) If you can afford it, you can also buy the note card stock that's already cut and folded. If you can't afford the card stock, you can do letterhead-type stationery on regular paper. - Homemade baked goods - A nostalgic photo of you and the recipient in an inexpensive frame - Buy a small box or chest at the dollar store and fill it with holiday candy - Burn a mix CD with songs that remind you of times with the recipient and include an insert with your reasoning for picking each song (kind of cliche for couples, but not so much for siblings, parents, or grandparents.) - Christmas poinsettia (some places have them cheaper than others.) - Big candy (like those oversized kisses or Hershey bars). They don't cost a lot and they make a good presentation. - A homemade ornament made from something that would be meaningful to the recipient (ex: my husband loves Tabasco, so he drilled a hole in the cap of an empty bottle, put a hook in it, and made an ornament.) - If you are really out of money, consider writing a meaningful note to express how much that person has meant to you over time (this works best with grandmothers.) Don't forget that the purpose of Christmas gifts is to let people know that they're important to you, and it doesn't have to take a lot of money to do that. Besides, the people who really matter won't care how much you spent.

You came <i>so close</i> with the December Megaparty. Actually, though, I commend you for getting all the way to the 17th before missing a blog post. And we <i>did</i> get a new calendar entry right at the deadline. Thanks again for all the hard work this year. At the risk of sounding cliche, X-E <i>rocks</i> this year. Truly this is why we all look forward to Christmas 'round these parts. Keep it up. Please. Ah, Matt… You came so close with the December Megaparty.
