Every year, I promise to mind our spending during the holidays...
Then, I find a trendy necklace that I know my hipster sister will like, a stylish sweater for my stylish brother-in-law, or an awesome train table for our son on Craig's List. Considering all of his gifts are burning a hole in the back of my closet, it's more than I wanted to spend but less than a brand new one... Sigh!
I know money and things don't buy happiness, but giving a gift that you know will be loved is such a joy!
So, today I'm grateful for all the things that are priceless (yet can be purchased with my MasterCard... or so their clever ads will have you believe).

My problem is that I always end up finding the perfect gift...for myself!
A-men sister. It's not what you got, but what you give! :)
Nothing like Christmas morning with the little people! I love the look on their faces.
