With The Greatest of Ease
This is the third or fourth season that I have given  the Amazon gift cards to seventeen assorted children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and in-laws for Christmas.  I was uneasy about it at first -- it seemed a non-emotional thing to do:  a loss of the Christmas spirit.  Little did I know that, to one and all, it was and is a delight.  They all understand that I feel deeply about them AND there is the practical advantage of not having the hassle of correct size and/or color and the ensuing return/exchange tap dance. ( I have observed more than one granddaughter or grandson stationed in a wing chair for most of the afternoon investigating how best to put his or her card to the best possible use!)<br /><br />The thank-you notes may not appear in my mailbox in huge numbers but a lot of people know that the old guy still knows what he's doing when it comes to the loving spirit of the season!
