I have an idea of what I want to give my son but I believe my ex and his girlfriend may be reading my posts, so I don't want to put it out here. Other than that, I really have no ideas. I want to be spend time with my kids and my sweetheart.

Why the 660? Does she need the Bluetooth compatibility? The 350 is just as good, just a bit smaller maybe a few less bells and whistles, but less expensive.

We've had no problems with it.

I want nothing for Christmas except for it to be over....

Edit: Also the 350 is easily placed in a purse for safe keeping when leaving the vehicle. The 660 is obviously larger......

she's on the road 2000+ miles a month and on the phone 1999 miles a month without a headset ..... Just thought bluetooth would help her keep on hands on the wheel vs on the phone

We really enjoyed our 'minimal' Christmas in our Dresden apt last year. The 'tree' was a few evergreen branches stuck in a vase. All gifts were miniature things that could fit in our suitcase.


Our Christmas eve morning/ afternoon was spent is the 'Stitzlmarkt' (Christmas Fair) which has been running continuously for 572 years.


Christmas eve service with the Boys Choir in the Kreuzkirche (church of the cross) in Dresden. Day after Christmas included a drive to Prague.....FOR THE DAY

The cost of the trip for 4 people was not minor, but the memories:
Priceless We have pledged to maintain this same sort of modest gift-giving in the future.

^Very nice!

We send checks to both set of parents and no gifts for my siblings or my wife's siblings. We'll get something special for our son but that's it. We haven't bought each other gifts for years now. We'll decorate our Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving Day.
