We haven't bought our advent calendars yet and would definitely love to get some. Even if we do end up buying some (not likely unless we can find ninja turtles ones) before the train gets here you can never have too many chocolates ;)
Not train related. But how much do you usuall buy ur children for christmas been told i went way over board.lol
I always say I'm going to cut down on what I buy my kids for Christmas... but I never do!! The way I see it, they're only young once, and if it's the one day that you really spoil them, who cares? My kids get tired of opening presents after while, I buy WAY too much LOL. But I always make sure they have the same amount of gifts.
Advent calendars- yes please!! Chocolate (lindt), starbucks, tea... not really into makeup so none of those.
Oh! If there were any samples of Downy Unstoppables, I would LOVE those!!
I dont buy advent calendars for myself, I didnt realize they were so popular for adults. The tea one would be nice, but it would not be much fun if the buddy had, say 2 of the nail polish ones ect. Not sure of that helps!Quote:

We spend cash/debit for everything (no credit cards) so we budget rent and bills then anything extra is to buy Christmas gifts for everyone we have to buy for. We buy early for our kids (ninja turtles toys come out here about a year after the US so we import them) and save up a bit every month. We spend 50$-200$ per kid depending on our budget for the year.Quote:

Not much this year. Can't afford much. At the rate it's going were not going to be able to afford anyone. Just realized there is only 3 more pay days till Christmas and not even remotely ready for it!Quote:

well in the past it's mainly - red, green & straw coloured (think IKEA Nordic) but now with DD is more eclectic & lots of handmade decorations.Quote:
