I ordered a gift from Amazon for a friend today - $18.  I have one more gift to buy, for another friend.  I have asked her if she has an Amazon list.  There is another friend who usually sends a gift.  I always wait for it to come before I reciprocate, because I just wouldn't mind if that exchange died out.

All my other gifts have come from Amazon.  I have not ventured out to shop at all.  Since my son is an employee of Amazon, I don't feel at all bad about using the company to the max.  I do wish I could support local businesses, but I feel I have to stay inside as much as possible.

DIL has suggested some Christmas plans -- a movie on Christmas Eve at her house, gift opening at her house on Christmas morning, with open windows and masks., dinner at the home of DE (dear ex).  I am in, and I will be taking all the precautions I can.  I offered to make Bubble & Squeak for dinner and a rum cream pie for dessert.  I'll have to engineer a curbside pickup for ingredients.

I haven't put up the tree yet.  Maybe today.
