Times are tough! I may even throw in a christmas card, but I fear it may give them the impression that something's in it. Is it too late to take up crocheting? Hmmm...Lynnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150278307890381372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874719064634626617.post-74857945519810594012008-11-18T19:09:00.000-05:002008-11-18T19:09:00.000-05:00I plan to buy nothing this year.

Ha! Can’t do that…what my love ones will claim they need lest I get requests for mortgage payments and IRA account backfills. So... need is not on the part of my equation. <BR/><BR/>I have a really strict spending Christmas shopping budget this year so the gifts will work themselves out in terms degrees of frugalness. :o) But for those who don’t make the cut for my Christmas list… they will receive homemade Christmas cookies baked by yours truly. For me, it equates to a net spend of less than 50 dollars and it allows me to create about “20 gifts” or $2.50 a person/household. Sheer genius if I do say so myself. :-DButterrflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617241178296196884noreply@blogger.com
