Almost done with my Christmas shopping!!!

I only have to get Josh two more presents and I AM DONE!!!
Two years ago we started the tradition (suggested to me by a friend) of only receiving 3 presents. The wise men brought 3 presents so that should be enough.
So, Andrew gets 3, Leah gets 3, Leila gets 3, I get 3 and Josh gets 3. This really helps keep the spending under control as well as the chaos on Christmas day.
We are visiting Josh's family this year and he has 2 parents, 4 siblings, 1 sister in law and 4 neices. I got them all taken care of as well. That was tough since I haven't seen half of them in years!!!
I'm really excited about one present I got for Josh. I you want to see it, you'll have to e-mail me and I'll send a picture to you. You can also wait until Christmas. I'll try to remember to post it here. Some of you may have already seen it because I sent it to a few people out of excitement. :)

Wow, you are way ahead of me. I really like the idea of 3 gifts!! We might have to try that this year.

That is a great idea, about the three presents. We have a strict budget. This year it is ten dollars per person. But I'm real good at finding cool stuff for cheap. We are poor students, and have both sides of the family to buy for. :) However, Garon and I are each getting one present for twenty dollars. :) I love the idea for only three presents though.
