Okay, I think we have decided that we are going to do a little bit of "trimming" to the Christmas giving budget. Which i think is a good thing and will alleviate some stress and also hopefully keep the focus where it should be during the Christmas season. For the new gift, the max per person will be $65 and for the homemade gift, the max will still be $10, and the contribution to the needy family can be $35 and if you want to give more, that can be at your discretion. That trims the giving by about $40 per person (or by 36%) and by $80 per couple. This is not a max. limit as the gifts are, so if you want to do more, you may at your discretion. If this needs to be trimmed further, that is okay too as a lot of people are going through some pretty pricey times right now with trying to purchase homes, start businesses, and travel for the holiday season. Christmas should not be a stressful season, but a time to be with family and friends in order to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Don't forget Christmas lists are due by the end of the month!!!
love you all
