78 Sleeps

Did you know Christmas is in 78 sleeps and thirteen hours and some odd minutes!?

Since my husband is back in school now and we have only one income, a mortgage, house bills, car bills, etc. etc, Christmas this year will be very frugal.  Don't get me wrong... I am okay with that! It will just require a lot more planning and creativity this year! After all, Christmas isn't about gifts really, anyway! I just love giving gifts. 

Anyway!

I've already started thinking about gift ideas.  I am pretty excited about it, too!

I come from a large family and now have a second family, my in-laws!

For example, just family/in-law wise, I have to buy/make gifts for: 24 people.

You can imagine how expensive Christmas COULD be for us. 

I've come up with a personal challenge. 

$250 for ALL 24 Christmas gifts this year.

That comes out to $10.4166666666666666666 (you get the idea!) a person. 

We'll see what Hubby thinks about this! I am surrrrrrrre he will get his hands in there and help with all the creativity...   ;-)

It's going to be another very Blessed Christmas no matter what!

Wish me luck!
