the kids are older this year so we have all talked and we are not doing toys , wants or anything like that. i do my shopping on black friday. we have decided that since money is tight and things are ruff this year we are going to get each other things we need. like clothes, make up, shoes, new blankets , things like that. then at income tax we will give them 200.00 each and they can spend the way they want. they are 11 and 14 so therefor they understand. i feel so guility though. i always get them a big present to share. like last year it was a trampoline. then we get them other things too like a new breakable doll that they can add to collection. and arts and craft stuff etc. this year though it is not in budget. they need pants, sweater, jackets that fit, shoes, things like that. i need make up i am using halloween make up for eye shadow right now cause i am out lol. lucky with some powder you cant tell lol. are your gifts going to be different then normal or are you going to go ahead and go crazy in debt trying to keep it as normal as you can for your kids.
