For instance, for my boys, one will get a trip on a train ride and another will get a trip to the symphony. <BR/><BR/>I haven't figured out what the number is for gifts yet - I need to do that. My problem is grandparents and aunts and such. Many are unwilling to cut back which makes me feel the need to cut back even further.<BR/><BR/>A final thought is to lurk at your local thrift store for some of your children's gifts which at least cuts back on the number of NEW products consumed this Christmas. Our local thrift store has some great things - my sisters are eternally jealous over my boutique store jeans that I bought there for $3. :)Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813652540538023883.post-10017434475999984852007-11-13T09:36:00.000-05:002007-11-13T09:36:00.000-05:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V1gLr5jW7oJust in ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V1gLr5jW7o<BR/><BR/>Just in case you haven't seen this...<BR/><BR/>ROFLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
