Eeek! You're good though - beat the rush! I would imagine malls will be decorated soon though. So sad how they rush the seasons.

I know...it is like Thanksgiving doesn't exist. I am not going crazy this year with gifts....we told everyone to not go crazy on us since we are trying to save for a house.

I like to wait till the day after Thanksgiving...I love when the stores are packed, people are pissy, and grabbing a cup of hot chocolate!!!

I started too...I actually bought my mom's and stepdad's gift in July (I ordered them tickets for Cirque du Soleil so I wanted to make sure I got them good seats). I just ordered my dad's gift too.

FMIL is finished already!

Thank goodness I put away money every week since May...don't to bad I put $75 away a week in a seperate savings account kind of like my 'Christmas Fund' and so far I have a little over $2,000...i checked it the other day and I couldn't believe it out of sight out of mind I guess. I would def. recommend it!

I totally agreee....but the rush of Christmas makes me so happy!! I went to dollar tree the other day and almost every isle was Christmas decorations!! I like the holiday but not the whole spending aspect of it.

I LOVE Christmas though!!

Re: i officially.....
