It's December 1 -- and so the "countdown to Christmas begins!
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
For the past few years, since our family has grown rather large, we give everyone either money or gift certificates. My husband I and I split the cost with my mother. I asked the women which gc's their family members would like, and I'll buy or order them this weekend. Mike and I buy each other a small gift, and we get something for my mom. I do miss shopping and wrapping, but this way is easier, faster and less stressful.
Creating memories, one page at a time.
This way I can sneak it into the grocery money and not blow our minds.
