I hope you start crocheting! My sister was teaching me how to knit, but I haven't practiced in so long, I've forgotten how to do it. I want to knit. That's one of my New Year's resolutions. :-)

Buying gifts....I wish I could do it for everyone, but it's simply impossible. I like your idea about buying something if it screams someone's name. :-)

*hugs* Merry Christmas, sweetie. I really hope we'll get to see each other again before too long! It just seems like nothing has worked out for us recently!
