It’s just one week until Christmas. Are you excited yet? Are you ready? We have actually almost finished our shopping. This has got to be a first for me and I have managed to NOT break the budget. I still have two presents to buy for my grandchildren but that should be easy.
The tree is up and the house has been decorated since Thanksgiving weekend. Now I am ready to start thinking about visiting, cooking and generally just enjoying the holiday. I might even be able to afford to buy a dress to wear to my daughter’s wedding. She is getting married over the New Year’s weekend and I have been sweating whether I was going to be able to afford a new dress to wear.
So looking into the next 7 days, I am predicting an enjoyable and peaceful week. It feels good to be looking forward to the holiday and not dreading it.

I’m glad you’re almost finished with your shopping and such. I finished mine about 13 years ago and have enjoyed the peace and quiet ever since.
We finished our x-mas shopping a while ago, did a lot of our buying online. I found that helped plan a stricter budget, no impulse buying at the mall. We were able to select a few things, do some good comparisons at a few dealers we trusted.
have a terrific holiday and get a nice dress (you don’t get these memory making events every day!)
