Spending myself into receivership...

[lisamoe]

I have my Xmas shopping done for my parents and I know what I'm getting for R, I just have to order it. The only thing Jesse wants is a cell phone upgrade that's sort of expensive. I'd like to get it for him, but it's more than I was really planning on spending. Dingo wants a $70 toy that I think he'll play with for 2 days and forget about, but at least there are a number of other things he'd like as well, so he'll get some of those instead. Aside from the kids, I don't have a lot of shopping to do, actually. In my family I only have my parents to buy for and R usually picks out most of the gifts for his family, so my Xmas shopping is pretty simple and I do most of it online.

How's it going for everyone else out there?

I've gotten zero done. I'm hopeful to at least get my online shopping done tomorrow after work.

I am actually almost done and complete understand the receivorship comment. It seems Christmas gets more expensive every year. And with the expanded shopping list (Larry's family), it doesn't appear to be reducing any time soon.

I have most of my shopping done. I need to order Elmo's gift, but it isn't something requiring shipping, so no rush there. I need to get a few more small things for Veronica, I think. And I feel a need to find or make a stocking for Sasha. We have one I made for Veronica when she was a baby and we use it every year.

And I have to get two $5 limit dirty Santa gifts by Sat night. I made most of my gifts last year, so I haven't done quite as well frugally this year, but I also didn't have as much time available. I'm pretty happy with how I've managed my Giftmas spending this year.
