new goal: $100 christmas

[kunoichi]

This is a good one. I think if you can do it, it is a great idea. But with kids that would be tough for me. I just have my boyfriend and some close family that I shop for. If I got really creative, I think I could do it.

I trying hard to keep it under $300. Now that my kids are older, they want expensive stuff. As I type, my ds is trying to convince me that he really NEEDS a DS Lite!! Fat chance!

well, i am sticking with my committment for this challenge.. however, my cop son did a money call today and asked us to pay closing costs on a house for his family... so, we probably will... so, i win some, and i lose some.... he has selected a home, below appraisal, in the correct area for his work, and the square footage his family needs.. we have been helping them look at houses for about 8 years now... so, he has downpayment, etc.. just needs a freebie... lol....

i still have $60 remaining...i received 3 gifts, and one for spouse from my unkie and auntie... i already had purchased their gifts before... so, i bought at low prices earlier in the year.....
