Blog Party Day 3
6:58 AM Posted by Unknown
It is day 3 of the MOMDOT blog party!!!
Today's question is Brought to you by Appledonia, Hippos Toes and My Bag
Now onto today's question:
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? I have web pages bookmarked for gifts I want to get the kids but I have not officially shopped or ordered anything yet.
Do you budget for the holidays? I have a budget of how much we spend on the kids etc. I do not however budget throughout the year in preparation for Christmas.
Do you always stick to your budget? My dh always says I can spend X amount on each kid but then forgets that we do have other family members I like to buy for and then stocking suffers and all the little extra things that makes Christmas cool. So, he always thinks I spend too much. As for him he never buys anything for his side of the family and if he had it his way he would skip Christmas altogether. He is such a scrooge!!
Share with us any budgeting tips you may have!
I do a lot of dollar store shopping to fill Christmas stockings.

I don't think my husband wants to know what I spend on Christmas some years. He knows when years are leaner than others based on what's under the tree.
