I hate that I am already pondering Christmas, but I am. I have lists made of possible gifts for the kids. I have ideas and budgets and bookmarks online. What I don’t have, is gifts for the 4 people that have birthdays the third week of November. Either I am already done on November 1st or I do the last minute scramble. Its pretty obvious which one this year will be.

The real problem this year is watching the money and deciding what’s more important, that early morning “WOW!” factor or staying in a decent price range that doesn’t make me cringe when I think of it later. Or worse, when I am packing up those toys in 6 months and donating them due to lack of use.
