I’ve seen so many Christmas and Holiday commercials! It’s starting to get annoying because I’ve been seeing them since Halloween night, and that’s way too early. I have started thinking about Christmas gifts though, since I want to get Keith, my parents, and friends nice things. I’ve been saving up for all of last year. We do this thing in my family called ‘Christmas Club’. My Dad takes money from us for about a year and saves it in a special savings and by Christmas time I have about 400+ dollars for my Christmas shopping. It’s amazing how much you can save without realizing.
Keith and I have also been saving for our vacation coming up in January! I’m so excited about it, and of course, the long-term savings = apartment.
Yeh I had to do some Christmas shopping last night! Only 3 more presents then I’m done! Lol. I hope you and keith have a great time on your vacation!

Hmm… Christmas Club, eh? I don’t know that I’d ever do that, since the most money I spend on gifts is about fifty to sixty dollars total, but it sounds like a good idea when one just wants to save up some money. Smart.
As for the commercials–I hear you there. But I’m honestly surprised they don’t start in July, which is when a lot of obsessive-compulsive mothers start thinking about their presents.
