Christmas shopping

[tradish_wiyan]

ok peeps, christmas is just around the corner. So how many of you go into debt to make christmas just a little more special for those people important in your life? I always make sure I go "all out" for christmas every year, even if I do go into debt. It is well worth it to see the smiles and joy on the faces of my family...especially the kids. :Angel2

I love shopping and Christmas! Plus my daughter's birthday is the 22nd so that day has gotta be special - no combo-xmas and b-day gifts for her!

I try to make it special without going off the deep end - I set a budget range and try to stay within it - unless of course the bingo champeen at our house brings home the big one - then it's off to the mall and let's see what happens!

now I wish i would win at bingo so I don't hafta go in the hole for gifts...thats what I can ask santa for...some good ole fashioned bingo luck!!

I counted....4 more pay cheques until Xmas!!!

Ahhhgg...I better start shopping.

I find it easier to buy 1 big gift per person on my list, instead of small lil gifts. U'd be surprised how fast lil gifts add up the $$$.

That's great!! Just in time for the holidays!

Man, you guys are really on top of things. I'm redo-ing my budget every other day, trying to squeeze out enough for layaways. I can't go into debt cuz my cards are still maxed out from Christmases past.

We got 2 birthdays right after Christmas too! That's always hard.

As for the tree, I was thinking about doing the upside-down-tree-on-the-ceiling thing to keep my grandson from tearing it up.:p
