I wasn’t gonna do it.
But I did.
Today I got a ton for Hudson for Christmas. Like, I had wanted to purchase one thing for him just as something to open on Christmas morning. I know that sounds cheap or mean or whatever but his birthday is next month and it’s his first Christmas and I have no doubt the grandparents will spoil him silly. Plus- he has NO IDEA what is going on and would rather play with the wrapping paper anyhow. Sooooo- I fail. He has at least 5 things under that tree so far.
I also broke down and spent $30.00 for two quick snapshots of Hudson with Santa. That’s all $30.00 will buy you with Santa in the SF Bay Area. It hurts my heart! Plus, they aren’t even like on the computer so I have to go upstairs and SCAN THEM later just to share them with you guys!
But, the good news I am down to just a couple little things left to buy and then I am 110% DONE with my Christmas shopping. I shouldn’t spend any more than $100.00 more, which makes me happy since I did Christmas this year in CASH no credit cards were harmed in the making of Christmas 2009!! For this, I am very very proud!
Tonight after my feet stop throbbing I will head out again to get everything that remains. Then, I will officially be on STRIKE. I won’t so much as head to the grocery store until after Christmas. I like less than 20 blocks from the mall and it took 30 minutes to get there. I do not love holiday traffic.

the boy does need presents…so you did good! $30 omg…that is ridiculous! but for some reason i feel like i should join the party and torture my daughter as well. how did he do? did he like the jolly old man?
Sounds like the same deal we got with our pics! But, let’s be honest. We wouldve paid $60 for the same thing. Cause us parents are silly like that.
Hell no I wouldn’t have!!! I almost said no to $30.00!!! I couldn’t believe it! I bet Scott could dress up as Santa for less then $30 bucks!
And Kerri: He did pretty well. He was totally into Santa but did NOT like the “elves”
Ok. Maybe I’m just crzy.
lol. Maybe like 3 years ago- but I am on a budget. That’s like 1/4 of what I spent on everything Christmas this year.
