That is so true!

This year, I made a list of everyone I need to buy for and I am going to try for one gift per week (unless I find a great sale).  That way, come December, it is not so hard on the pocketbook!  We are aiming for a debt free Christmas again this year (that will make 4 years in a row of debt free Christmas! YEA!)

Need to get our finances in order again before I do anymore Christmas shopping, but Jo-Ann's is great about seasonal sales, and Wal-mart is, too.  MIL bought 4 super nice cushy chairs for our camping trip this past weekend, and she only paid $60 total.  Regular price would have been over $120.

Got a bunch of Christmas shopping done today!  YAY!  We charged at Kohl's so we could get the Kohl's Cash back, but I will be paying that off right away, and we got $70 in Kohl's Cash, so I will be going back to get myself a coat with that...the coat I want is on sale from $140 to $75 so I will get it for 5 bucks!  Woohoo! 

 

Pulled out all the stuff I have been collecting all year and sorted it.  I have four red and green totes, one for each child (they are labeled 1,2,3 and 4, not with names ) so I put each child's things into their tote.  I'd say we are now about 1/2 to 2/3 done for the kids!
