Christmas Names

I for one disagree. Yes the economy is tight, but I have already started purchasing for Chrismas and had it figured into my budget long ago as have a few others that i am aware of in the family. Maybe this should be a discussion for gift giving in 2009 rather than 2008. While I agree that maybe there should be a cutoff on when the godparent/godchildren gift giving should end, it's been pointed out that Leslie receievd a check from her godmother well into her marriage. Just my opinion...
