getting into Christmas

Yeah! it's Christmas! After hosting Thanksgiving, a Christmas Cookie Exchange and organizing a church Christmas party for 150 people, I can finally get into Christmas! I had my first official shopping day today. oh, I've had other shopping days, but it was just a little gift here and there. Today I spent $$. However, I am not indulging the family this year like I usually do. I've decided to scale back and be frugal. So I've spent half of what I normally spend for gifts. but it will be a nice Christmas because the family will be together. I'm looking forward to it.
