I received one mailed card, from an attorney I used 3 years ago.
Presents sent: 1, to my sister’s senior dog.
I holiday tipped a few special workers and laborers.
That’s it. I like low key holidays.

ps: your final decisions are yours alone. It is certainly a dilemma, nonetheless. I am facing those very scenarios at this stage in my life, I am also a senior with limited time. I wish you much strength and peace.
