I know, I know. It's only October. But there are stores out there already selling Christmas stockings, ornaments and plastic trees! I have bought my nephews their Christmas presents, but haven't gotten much further than that. We have started socking (that's the term, right?) money away for Christmas every week, in hopes that this year will be the first year that we don't worry about money. Sigh. We can dream, right?!
Our families normally do secret santa for Christmas, which really alleviates a lot of stress. Last year, we actually decided to do away with secret santa, and just buy for the kids. SO much less stressful!! It helps us focus more on what the day is all about, instead of just running around buying and wrapping presents.
Last year, I had all my presents bought and wrapped by October, and although one of my friends made fun of me...a LOT...it was SO nice to have everything done and enjoy the holiday season.
