My Christmas Budget

As part of my frugal lifestyle, I am determined to stay on a budget this year for Christmas, so I thought what better way to keep myself accountable than to post it here. I will update it as I add gifts. Hopefully, not only will this help keep me accountable, it will keep me from hiding something I bought only to find it in January!

My goal is to buy a large family gift from Santa and then only spend $200 on each child. I'm not sure if this will include their stocking stuffers (SS) or not at this point.
