Each year I set a budget for my Christmas shopping. I even downloaded a Christmas list app, and lo and behold... I still overspent. I purchase things with my children in mind and this time was no exception. The problem is, I still have not purchased any clothes for them. This year they all are attending schools that do not require uniforms. So they are going to need clothes too. I still have people on my list and I probably should feel guilty, but I do not.
I have a confession to make.... I love to give gifts. Gift giving makes me feel so good. And once I got out of my own way I realized that I love giving so much more than receiving. Since I had my babies, I have realized that I don't really care much about gifts.... The only person I expect a gift from is my spouse.... Any extra is just gravy. I also don't purchase gifts for myself until after Christmas, if I decide to purchase them at all. So I say that I am upset at my spending.... but I am lying. I am not. Let's just hope that in January, I am not crying the blues. I hope you all got out and did a little shopping, or in my case did a little shopping online.
I am leaving you with a little music to get you in the mood.....
