Geez, Maybe I do need to reconsider moving. I just never really wanted to leave Michigan.

I do need to revise my wishlist and add a maid to it. Jim's kid and mom tried to help me clean the house. Let's just say I had to go behind them and reclean everything (moreso the kid). I have no patience for it right now. Seriously, how hard is it to see dirt on a white sink and wipe it up??? Kids.. Ugh!

I don't have a real job either. I had to cash in my vacation time to get some extra Christmas money.
I shit you not, I had to cash in 400 shares of Sirius stock to buy xmas gifts and pay the cable bill. Times r tough right now, real tough. Every year it gets worse.

That is kind of the route we have taken. The big gift for the two of us combined is an area rug for the living room that we each pitched in evenly for. Besides that, we will spend under $100 on each other.
I do like buying nice things for my wife, just not gonna happen while we are in this economy, especially with the new cost of a baby.

Man, I didn't realize so many of you were in the same financial crunch I'm in. It sucks but I guess I don't feel as bad knowing other people are in the same boat.

I mean, i have to install the remainder of the hardwood in the new year, install all new baseboards and trim, build a custom closet for her, and finish the basement. I think thats enough for the next 10 Christmas'

The only reason I was able to afford Christmas was that I had set aside some of my tax return last year in my Christmas account. Unemployment would not have covered it.

Jim and I bought our gifts through the business. I got him some floor mats for the trucks. The business visa rewards we got a blu-ray player for the basement. Jim got us new phones, tax write offs

We don't get big gifts at Christmas either. Got Kendra an iPad cover for $25.00 & she bought me a ring for the same price. Jordan got a & $25.00 iTunes gift card. We are going to Mobile, Al. this weekend for the GoDaddy Bowl & hitting up the Polo store at the Outlet Mall for him a few belated presents. We pretty much look for bargains all year long. Christmas sucks for me because I work so much during Dec!!!
