We have been a little slow on here the last few days, haven't we? I guess that since Thanksgiving there just hasn't been too much to post. Plus, I think that everyone's busy getting ready for Christmas.

I know that it's been hard on you with your husband gone but at least you both still have jobs. There's a lot of people that are in much worse shape but I really don't need to remind you of that.

I don't think that it hurts to cut back on your Christmas shopping because so many times the ones that we shop for don't need more stuff anyway. I have quite a lot to get for just because my family is so large and then we have parents. I'm jealous that you're almost done because I've barely started!!!
