It's obvious why this was delayed. We even saw big business "pleading" to biden to delay it a couple of weeks ago...why you ask? It's all about taking more of our hard earned money at a much higher inflated price now.
I'm not here to tell anyone what to do this holiday, that's not my place. But please, if you are buying gifts this year, make sure it's purchased through your local mom and pop stores and that the product is American made. Big business makes a fortune every year during the shopping sprees that happens during the holiday season. This would be the ultimate Let's Go Brandon slap in the face to them.
In 2019, our family (12 adults, 4 kids) decided we would draw names for the next year and each only have one gift to be responsible for outside their immediate household. The gift had to be homemade or from a thrift store or garage sale. It was a lot of fun. The weekend before Christmas, we had an early dinner, played games and did our gift exchange before drawing names for next year (this year). Gifts ranged from handmade quilts to steampunk lamps to framed photos to vintage dessert plates to home brewed beer to a homemade apple press for Grandpa. The kids really enjoyed making gifts. This way the parents of the kids still had their Christmas mornings at home without all the extended family to worry about, it took off a lot of pressure for everyone and the gifts were one of a kind.
