I hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent Saturday with my Mom and sister while Bran was working on his truck, and on Sunday we had lunch at Bran's Nana's house. It was nice to relax!
Today I'm working on our monthly budget from now through Christmas. We'll be doing lots of traveling (to the Outer Banks in NC!) and gift-buying, and we want to make sure our budget is ready. Do any of you do big budget planning for the holidays? If you do, share your secrets!
here's a simple trick we picked up almost six years ago now that's made christmas absolutely fantastic: no gifts. i'm not kidding, and i highly recommend it. if you think about it, i'm certain everyone on your list already has everything he or she wants, so why bother? our holiday focus is now on cooking and baking together, laughing over wine, closeness and friendship instead of stuff.
ReplyDeleteif you're afraid to go cold turkey, why not do simple home made gifts: cookies, bath salts or something small. i promise it'll revolutionize your holidays!
