Today is Day 3 of Money Saving Mom's 21 Days to a Simple Christmas Challenge. On Day 1, I created a mission statement for the season. (Mission statements remind me of college projects, not Christmas!) You can read about it here. On Day 2, I worked on a budget for Christmas gifts this year. It's going to be a huge challenge to stick to a budget. I may end up just budgeting per person; we'll see. You can read about it here.
For Day 3, I created a list of gifts to give this year. Nearly all are for family, and for the rest, I'm excited about making some homemade goodies! I'm so tempted to spoil my little Baby President, but I have to keep reminding myself that he won't remember this Christmas and that he doesn't need anything. I have a little more than half of my shopping left to do, and I will admit that I'm having trouble this year deciding what to give a few people. And I'm not sure when I'll be able to get my shopping done. There may be a lot of boxes arriving on my front porch in the next few weeks, I suppose.
How is your Christmas shopping going? Just 20 days left to finish!
