Only 4 paychecks until Christmas!

[ShannanAjluni]

My DH works for our school district and I am a new independant marketing executive for a consumer direct company (just started).. We get paid on the first of the month... ONCE per month... That means only 4 paychecks until Christmas!!

Do you have a Christmas list yet?
Plan to achieve list completion?
Budget?

I will add mine in replies :)

 My budget I don't have one I buy all yr long with 14 grandkids my dd whos 10 and the rest of our 5 kids and a few have spouses we jsut buy all yr long or I make things. This yr is a cutting back yr though 1 gift per person except for dh, dd & myself.

 NOp.. not yet..only mental, but will be writing one very soon because I want to put everyone's gift on a budget. This christmas I want to be thrifty and savvy about it and not get caught with my pants down... lol.. I just had a visual of that... lol.. sorry! lol

 Thats our budget too.  we have two.  but I know we will end up spending at least $50 extra for each... as always.  :/

I'll spend around $100 on ds. I've already bought 2 gifts.

 ShannanAjluni by the way... love your profil pic :)  it reminds me of when I used to breastfeed my daughter... "sigh" they grow so fast!

Thank you! My best friend took it while we were sitting in the floor after a chemo treatment for my son. She caught us unaware. It is one of my favorites. I know that at two, his nursing days are numbered.... So i really treasure it.

Most of my christmas list is for dd (her birthday is right before christmas so she will be getting a lot of presents) and dh. Everyone else will just get a small present, not sure what yet.
