I haven't started yet this year and I dread it already....I love to give gifts, but this year will be a little bit different here at the IWM house.

Good for ya Lil and Alasse... I started that tradition last year... I still spent more than I planned, but I did it all with cash. Whenever I went out and thought I might pick up presents I made it a point to only have my debit card with me so I wouldn't be tempted to pull out the credit card.

Good move! I believe it's a lot harder to work off something behind you than to work for something in front of you.

You know, after yesterday I just might take you up on that PF. Thanks!

I'd love to gekko, but I reckon the local constabulary might take a dim view!

I intentionally wait until the last minute every single year. More of a challenge trying to find just the right thing with what's left on the shelves - and you can usually get some good bargains on Christmas Eve too! I live for stress!!!!!! :)
