When I found out hubby had bought himself an expensive present, I went back and bought my kids more stuff. He got a lot of unexpected overtime in the last two weeks, so there you go. I spent a few hundred on each kid, and my dad, who lives with us, a few hundred on hubby, and then for friends and sisters, neices and nephews and teachers, another few hundred including gifts and cookie supplies to make cookie trays for the neighbors. Then some for the mail carrier, trash guys, (they let my kids run the trash truck!) it really just seems never ending. I always match what I spend on my kids with charitable. We have a santa fund in town, and I gave to the orpanage, and then to the mission, I brought 400 drinks and spent the day working at their party. Now, I still have more cookies to make, so I am off!

i spent 3,000 on myself, i got a few things for the relatives but spent less than $50 on all their gifts, the one that is getting the most is our spoiled rotten 4 yr old, i gotta get a 2nd job now, gots to go
