We'll put up the tree in a week or so - we didn't put one up at the apartment last year, there just wasn't room. But this year we'll have one in our living room and THAT makes me happy. We do simple Christmases. Not a ton of money spent, smallish thoughtful gifts and lots of time with family. I think this year, by the time I'm done, I will have spent about $50 on each kid... and that's enough.
What's COMPLETELY awesome about the whole deal is that w/gas prices down to around $1.45/gallon, there was no budgeting required this year. No scooching of obligations, no credit card purchases. I've gone from putting around $100/week in my tank to somewhere around $30/week. That's HUGE!
I even bought myself something for Christmas, and that NEVER happens. Granted, it's not NEW, it's from Craigslist, and I wouldn't have ever thought I'd go for blue furniture - I've always been an earth tones kind of girl, but I really do like this set, and I NEED a new couch. So yay me. (Especially since the set was $60!)

That's awesome! I really want to know how you got the chair to stick to the wall so nicely! That's some serious super glue! :P
Smart ass. It was on the wall at HER house. At my house, it's on the floor... you know I'm too lazy for hanging furniture on the wall.
Refreshing to see how some things never change. *girls*
