This Christmas is the worst for money! We never save up throught out the year-I guess that makes too much sense. But the last few months have been absolutely horrible for business for my dh. He had to go get a "real" job, which meant that I wasnt able to work my part time job during the day sense we do not want to put the kids in daycare. I am still able to get in a few hours every week-I work my job the days that dh has off. He is still doing his business as much as he can and it is picking up, but it wont be great until after Christmas. We are putting a limit on what we are spending this year and it isnt real high, but than we have two birthdays in Jan. and one in March. I think the boys will each get one big present than a few smaller ones. I am gonna hit the dollar store for stocking stuffers. We are going to tell everyone NO toys for presents. The kids really do not need any more. I am requesting that everyone get them clothes instead. Not a whole lot of fun for the boys, but that is really all they need. I have already talked to them a little so they know that "santa" is a little broke this year.
