Gleaning Facebook:

This is our second straight non-commercial Christmas. We are celebrating Christmas. We are not shopping & stressing. We are making some donations, seeing some shows, telling some stories, sharing some meals, enjoying some music, and soaking up some love (and serious calories).

I apologize for leaving the heavy lifting of the economic recovery up to others for a while -- though the restaurant & theater industries can't complain.

Merry Christmas Eve! Off soon to brunch with my daughters, Sheila, and Rachel Craw.

Mary Caldwell We are doing this as well Terrell, just a small gift and time together...amazing how much more fun it is than ripping open a bunch of gifts...
Michelle Moriarty Smith Sounds nice....
Bob Doster No, No, No. You're in liberal land again. Oh woe is us. (LOL). Ya'll have a Merry Christmas.
Martin Penland Teem Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to the Shaws wherever they be.
Howard Smith pretty much to...we did a family vacation instead of gifts....much better.
Laurie Craw Thanks for bringing love from home to Rachel. We won't allow her to stay in NYC next Christmas, no!

Anita Stewart If only more families would practice a non-commercial Christmas, it would be more meaning to this holy time and make family times together more important than gift exchange. Have a wonderful New York holiday with the girls.
Cara Loelle Reichel The theater appreciates it!
