50 Days til Christmas


50 Days til Christmas and this year its on! I am not falling into my usual routine of buying all the Christmas gifts a week or LESS before the big day thus throwing away loads of money by not shopping smart & looking for deals. Today I challenge myself to get organized & shop frequently over the next few weeks. I plan on taking advantage of a layaway program (most likely Walmart) for the big present we want to get. ( a playground!! ) I wish I could do it entirely online but I have to go into the store. BOO! To avoid waiting there with a almost 4 year old and 5 month old I will prepare today and then go in tomorrow while Jax is in school. Checked with hubby in our weekly family “meeting” and we discussed what we felt was a good budget for our family for Christmas. He VOWED that this year he will let me know ASAP of what he wants. Usually he plays the whole “I don’t need anything" card and then a week before (this is where the LESS comes in) he causally names a few impossible finds that I could have ordered or located had I had more time. Apparently he understood my point because today he text me giving me a few ideas! I guess I got his Christmas spirit going, which was perfect because his text reminded me my plan. So I got out my “Christmas App” on my iphone and started planning what we needed to get! Yay! Only 50 days left. I love playing Santa!
Ho ho ho!
Love-
Corey
