Christmas is Coming!
Christmas is only 16 days away! This month is passing fast. I still have to buy some more gifts for 2 of my kids, and a frame for my mother-in-law. Oh, and we also need some stocking stuffers. So, we will only be spending about $120 more and we’re done - all cash Christmas! Usually I am all but done Christmas shopping at this point, but money was tight for a few months (we had house building related expenses). I am just now getting my Christmas cards done. Last year I had them all addressed and ready to go before Thanksgiving.
This week and into the beginning of next I will be busy with my classes ending and finals and final projects. So, I will probably not get much more shopping done, though I would like to have it done NOW! LOL. We still haven’t gotten our tree up, which is very unusual for us. Usually we put it up on Thanksgiving, but our 2 year old wasn’t feeling well. I think we will get it up this week. That is my goal.
Are you done with your Christmas shopping? Have your tree and decorations up yet? Let me know by leaving me a comment.
Update on my Monthly Shopping Trip: So far, so good. We are low on instant rice, but we have regular long grain rice we can use. I am not worried about it because we don’t eat it very often anyways. Other than that we are still good.
