Just 5 more months

July 25th, 2006 at 03:27 pm

July 25!! Just 5 more months til Christmas. QVC is having christmas in July today and I have been really tempted.
Finally, a few years ago, we really cut down on gifts. (we use to have 100 gifts under the tree for the two of us)
But we just don't need anything anymore, so we have scaled way back.
We always had a live tree, last year, I got a small fake tree.
But the one part I really enjoy is decorating outside,so I have been tempted by the inflatable carosel for $129. So far I have not picked up the phone!!
We are on a dead end street, so I know we really don't need to buy anything else outside, plus it takes up lots of room.
Merry Christmas!!!!

    Our three daughters are teens. We decided to try something about 3 yrs ago. Because at the time they did not have disposable income of their own (too young to work), we thought they would enjoy playing Santa and buying the presents for the holidays. At Thanksgiving each was given an envelope with $200; $75 to spend on each sister, and $50 for their Dad and I. All receipts had to be kept in the envelope (just in case we had to return something) and at least 5 gifts had to be purchased for each sister. They could pool their cash if they liked. I am delighted to report how economical their purchases have been, and with an eye for what each likes. Their Dad and I spend $50 on each child and Christmas is wrapped up for a family of five for $750.
