Happy Holidays

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday and new year. I don't know about everyone else, but I am done with all of my holiday shopping and I am now broke beyond compare. I do this every year. I over shop and end up broke around this time of year. I love this time of year though. My family and I have a little tradition; on Christmas Eve, my brothers, their families, and I all meet up at our mom's place and have dinner. We also pull names among the few of us at Thanksgiving for Secret Santa. We set a spending limit and shop for the person whom we drew. On Christmas Eve, after we've all ate, we exchange Secret Santa gifts. This little tradition was started to cut down on the cost of holiday shopping because our family had grow so, that it had began to get extremely expensive to shop for the holiday. We still buy gifts for all of the kids, and we might get a few little stocking stuffer gifts for the adults, but this has changed how we spend. Even with this I still tend to get a little carried away with the kids and for the names that I get. Anyway, this does it for me. I've got a lot of work to do, so I'm gonna call it good for now.
