This year, I put up my tree and my favorite decorations, you know, knick knack stuff. It didn't take me long to put up, so it won't take long to take down! LOL

Money is tight. I am giving gifts to my 3 sons and dil and the grandbaby and dh. Nobody is getting alot. I would say we spent less than $50 on each. That is what we are able to do. My bills have to be paid first.

I will do up a nice dinner, bake cookies and listen to Christmas carols. I decided to order most of the stuff off the internet this year because the "temptation" to get sucked into buying MORE MORE MORE is at the mall! LOL

I have a friend who is close to foreclosure, but, she is buying for Christmas! Her transmission is going out of her van, bills aren't paid, but hey, Christmas means the "high of the buy". NO THANKS!

So, this year I am so much more relaxed. I don't feel the pressure to buy, give, etc. I am only doing what I want to do, in my price range.
