Christmas 2023

A new year begins

Transferred $100 into the Christmas account today.
Had a nice balance forward from last year. Will let it grow. Down the road the extra will pay for something.

thanks for starting the new Christmas thread @Frugalbigmama

We're not so much about starting a Christmas fund early in the year ( anymore ) mainly because we no longer have a long list of people we buy gifts for.
Each other and the grown kids, that is almost it....there are the odd small gifts for my sisters and 1 BIL. What I did do however was finally use up a bag
of stray decorations ( the outside kind) that had fallen off of different wreaths, fence garlands, etc

I hot glued them all to my long white Birch branch which up until now was bare and trying so hard to find a place among the outdoor decorations. In December
2023 it will fit in beautifully " somewhere ".

I bought my 1st gift. Puma boxer are my son’s favourite and Costco had them on sale. The younger son wants cologne so I am taking a page from from frugal big mama and will buy the sampler set at SDM and do it with a bonus event.
