Congrats Norma! We have not charged any xmas gifts this year and its a GREAT feeling !


I am on pins and needles about our xmas bonus. I am HOPING for one but it might be signifigantly smaller than years past. I am ok with that. I was going to take the money I get from a bonus and give it to my sister to pay her for my portion of the cruise we are sending my mom and stepdad on for their 10 year anniversary.

Thanks country-gal. We too have learned to cut our spending down quite a bit. It's hard but very rewarding at the same time. I used to buy for my brother, sister and BIL and brother and BIL. We have cut that out. We do a grab bag now. Things are different.


This cruise is near and dear to our heart for my mother b/c my stepdad suffers from pancreatic cancer. And he's in his mid-70's. We as adults recognize that time won't always be there for them to be together. We pray this cruise brings them good memories.
