This is the week that we all empty out our bank accounts for those folks we love. Sherri and I are no different than anyone else. We too are spending money like there is no tomorrow. This may be the last Christmas that we have the financing to give every child what they want. The older ones are really getting expensive with their wants.
Everything they have their eye on is $100. plus! They will be the ones that really feel the impact of our fixed income.
We have most of the shopping done. We still have to go out and finish up some loose ends but that should be easy. Most of the big shopping is behind us. I think Wally World will be the place to finish out and that will be good because everything is under one roof.
We got all our presents for the boys in Kansas in the mail and they should get it before Christmas. We had to spend $40.00 on shipping alone just to make sure they get it on time. I had told my son that I could send them the money for everything plus the money I would spend shipping it but I don't think he wanted to have to shop for it. We don't mind shopping for the boys but when you have to find a box to ship it in and then wrap all the presents fit them into the box and get them to the shipping place...We both wish we lived closer to them...then we could watch them open the presents and be there with them. OH well such is life.
Christmas is Saturday and we will be spending some of it with our youngest daughter. Sherri is already planning her menu and gathering up all the necessary ingredients to make special food for the gathering. She likes doing this even though it wears her out.
OK this might be my last entry until after Christmas so I want to tell all my readers out there to have a Merry Christmas...

Stay Safe
If you decide to just sent the money to your children so they can buy their children's gifts, you'll never regret it. I used to get so stressed about shopping, and now I just send my kids the checks and they do all the work. It's wonderful. The older grandchildren are beginning to want the money anyway, so that's a couple of gifts off the list. Don't worry about having to cut back...just do it. Everybody should understand.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to you and Sheri, Joe from the gang here at San Antonio and especially Brenda and I.
Wishing you and Sherri and family a Very Merry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous new Year.
P & P makes sending parcels quite a burden. We sent cards with gift cards in them and they get to chose how they spend. One less stress.
Blessings and have a wonderful holiday.
Merry Christmas. Hope you have a great time with your daughter. We will be traveling on Christmas Day. Will connect with our son and his family on the 28th.
Merry Christmas Joe and Sherri!
Have a wonderful time with the family.
