Countdown to Christmas
Today we are setting our budget. That is fairly simple to me. With 5 children, 15 grands and one set of parents, we have a limit of $20 to $25 for the grands. My children get something homemade and it may just be goodies. One year I made up a Recipe book for them and they loved it. I printed up some family favorites 4" x 6" and put them in the Plastic Photo Albums. I have made fleece scarves and blankets as gifts for all our family. It has always been important to me to keep Christmas Christ centered. And simple although I will admit that I can and do and have stressed out many times during the holidays! I am hoping that this organization will help eliminate that! :)

The budget has always been easy for me also. When you don't have very much money, a budget is easy to set!!
I read that you do homemade Christmas gifts and I think that is great!!! Jaiden and I did that last year and it wasn't appreciated. I think it is wonderful that your family does!!
That is sad, Amber. I think homemade is made with love. I am excited about my gifts this year... they will be posted on my blog! lol
Sounds like you are off to a great start! Thanks for participating in 100 Days to Christmas!!
