(I could care less to even have the adults in it, but my sister is very selfish and throws a fit if we dont buy for the adults. - to me Christmas is for the kids)
Me and Hubby usually spend alot on each other, but not this year.

We, too, are changing our spending habits for Christmas this year....... the kids and Grandkids will be getting less. I have always done "stockings" (actually large gift bags filled with small items) and I think that they will be eliminated this year. I won't be spending as much on hairdressers, dog-groomers, and etc. I will have to start becoming creative..... as I want nice gifts at Excellent prices. (and I will be keeping my eye open for good deals starting NOW).
