I could do with not getting any gifts because we have everything we need, but he insists. I'd love to travel. Now that DH is almost retired, he's talking about travelling. I've got Europe on my wish list. <br /><br />I have a friend whose family takes them on vacation every December. It's the parents' Christmas gift to them. I love that idea, because the experience is so much better than just more 'stuff'.Ms Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797339521461126415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631833544468244851.post-57028998501509551172018-03-10T06:33:21.497-08:002018-03-10T06:33:21.497-08:00I budget for Xmas spending too.

It comes every year without fail so I don't understand how people are caught unawares when it rolls around. lol<br />Now that we are retired and our kids will be 27, 26 and 22 when it rolls around in 2018 the gifting will go down more. The few we gift to that are extended family will no longer happen either...or will just be gift baskets of toiletries I get for free. lolz We may travel or have a big get together for family which will be the bulk of our spending for the Holiday. We also don't spend a lot on each other at Xmas.slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.com
