we were going to buy a Wii as our gift to each other, instead we're keeping our gifts under $50, we weren't going to give each other anything at all, but I think that would've made it even more depressing!!

I was going to until Sears said no interest for 3 years on a purchase over $999. I can handle a payment as low as $30 for 3 years if need beChat Icon Plus that and I got a SCREAMING deal!

I'm due on Christmas Day and don't get maternity leave, NYS disability is a max of $170/wk for 6 weeks, then I will be taking at least an additional 6 weeks after that ....sooo things are tighter this year.

DH and I decided to make gifts for each other and rather than buy gifts for everyone (I have 6 siblings +spouces and he has 4 siblings +spouces) we are only buying for our neices & nephews (there are 12), our parents and DHs son. I did make ornaments for all of our siblings.

Sorry to hear about this Helen. Thank God you have the love of a good man and a close knit family.

How is your new neice doing? How are Mimi and the baby?
