It shouldn't cost a fortune to enjoy the "little things"

It's official the dollar tree now has Christmas wrapping paper and the stacking of the wrapped gifts has begun. I remember when to my children the size of the box mattered. Now with all the "little new technology gadgets" they are looking for the smaller boxes. When they were little it didn't even matter what was in the box as long as it was the biggest. Now that they are grown the gigobytes or gigograms whatever they are called being as big as possible is important. It is a gift you can't buy months in advance because the technology changes rapidly. The old stories of only nuts and an apple or orange is all they got for Christmas reminds me that technology has changed what it cost to enjoy the "little things" in life.
