Christmas Shopping

For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to finish up my Christmas shopping. I really don't want it to wait till the last minute since I have 55 people (includes family, friends, and co-workers) to buy for!!!

Last year I had about 45 people to shop for and it was just too much on our budget. A lot of the purchases went on the credit card. Well this year I want to avoid that. I don't want to have to pay for this C-mas all next year. So I'm doing everything possible save money. There isn't much to cut back on since I don't spend a whole lot on gifts as it is. But with me shopping so early I'm able to get a lot more sale items. I really hope this helps us financially this holiday.

I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I have all the cousins (well all but 2...but 2 out of 13 isn't too bad!), grandparents, siblings, and children (except my own) bought for! I'm also making a few gifts that should be done before December. Yeah!!!

Have you started yet? How many to you have to buy for this year?
