a successful and joyous holiday has no correlation between money spent and happiness.

Does the check for $11,000.00 two weeks before Christmas for my share of next semesters tuition count for my oldest daughter? Next year I will have two in college.

Why even try.........

Thats insane! My husband and I were just having this conversation abou how much people spend (or how much more debt they create for themselves) on Christmas. I dont have my own but I bought for 3 nieces and 1 nephew for less that what many are spending on one. Shouldnt it be more about making them thankful for what they do have that spoiling them with so many things? Things they will break or loose by June?

Simplify.......

Well this year is very lean so no one is getting much, 3 kids 2 boys 27 & 21 200 a piece, 1 Daughter 17, 300, thank god we don't buy for all our brothers and sisters any more, that's when it got insane
We buy for each other the 3 kids and her mom and my mom and dad. probably about 1200 bucks this year but when I work it is probably around $3500.00
