Did you finish shopping and are you cutting back?

[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 326037, member: 3907"] husband and I do Christmas shopping all the time. We spot things during the year on sale and snap them up, then stash them in the Christmas cupboard. Over the years we've accumulated so much that we often can just shop in the closet and not have too much to buy. I finished up the closet shopping yesterday, and have made the spreadsheet with the missing bits...a couple of gift cards, a lego kit for Little easy child...that's about it. We try to limit to one big gift for each person, and then a little stocking stuffer and something from Santa for the family. I guess we haven't really cut back, but we've always been frugal about Christmas. WAY different from the lavish and embarrassing excesses my difficult child-family would indulge in when I was growing up, everyone trying to outdo each other...Christmas was completely lost in all the stuff. The simple celebrations we have now are so much nicer. [/QUOTE]
