Christmas 2009?

How many of you are really having to pinch pennies this year and cut back on Christmas shopping due to the economy?...I know that me and the wife are definitely cutting back....The adults in the family will not get much of anything this year because we are low on funds after all of the moving...We made a decision to concentrate on the kids in our families this year and save a few dollars plus some of the hassle...It might sound a little bit "grinchy" but we have to be ready financially for whatever life has to throw at us in the future.

Salt...In our family we have only bought for the kids for years...The adults will understand....And yes it does take alot of burden off of you...

We have cut many things this year compared to years past, this year the adults will only get 1 gift each thank you that our family has gotten smaller just by people moving away, And the kids will have there gifts as always till they are able to understand what the world is coming to.

thats all we buy for ...just the kids ....its there time of year ....we have had are turn .....an besides that ....all i want for christmas ...is my health !

We've also only bought for the kids for years. When all of us were still here, we had a BIG family and it was just way too expensive to buy for everyone.
