Scaling Down for the Holidays

I'm definitely scaling back on my kids' presents...I usually spend about $200 each, will be more like $75 this year, maybe less depending on how much money I have...

Well not really, but this year looks like the gifts are going to be a random assortment of odds and ends. I fell for those Bath & Body Works sales too many times this year, so the stuff I don't need will probably be redistributed to my sisters. Maybe I'll clean my mother's house one day as a Christmas gift.
Oh how I wish I was like my Nana, she starts Christmas shopping the day after Christmas and is usually done before Halloween.
