Such a sucker for Christmas
By melcene 7 Comments
I do this every year. Myself and much of the rest of the country. I totally overextend myself. I'm lucky I've been able to keep the bank account out of the red. And it still seems like Christmas at home is fairly lean.
Husband got:
A new leather jacket since the puppy tore up his (and I found the exact same one for like $60 at Amazon... err $100 with shipping)
A navy peacoat (because he's always wanted one)
A pair of Levi's (because he prefers Levi's and I have been buying him no name brands for years)
Red Dead Redemption
Uncharted 2
Stocking stuffers
Daughter got:
A new 19" flatscreen tv/monitor with a built in DVD player
A usb graphics tablet since she likes to draw on the computer
A 360 network adapter
Halo Reach (cause she loves playing Halo)
Stocking stuffers
I mean... I probably spent $400 or $500 on each of them. And considering I was trying to keep Christmas down to about $500 because of money.....
And it still doesn't feel like I've done enough. I just love when people get that "OMG Wow, that was so awesome of you!" when they open a present.
Ah well. At least next year I'll actually be putting money away in my holiday club account so I'll have more Christmas spending money.
