I just can't believe it...Christmas is coming up pretty dang quick! For some reason I thought about it tonight & was thinking about what I could get for my folks. I swear..every year is getting harder & harder to buy for them. But one good thing is that this year I'll be able to afford better gifts!
I just had a thought about what to get them. My parents are very middle class people...they don't have lots of money, but they get by comfortably. Everyone has they're share of rough times & it's starting to look up for them now. Mom has been asking for a few years now for new carpet in the living/dining room, kitchen, hallway & bathroom. I can tell you...it's the UGLIEST ever!
Dad keeps telling her that maybe next year we can get it, but when that time comes the money gets used for more important things. So...here's my thoughts about Christmas: There is no way I can afford to recarpet all of what they need, but I thought I could give them some money or a gift certificate to help them out. I can afford to give them $1000...so I could get 2 gift certificates of $500 each. The look on their faces would be amazing!
What do you think?
Also, has anyone else thought about Christmas presents yet? Or am I just crazy?
ok..you really don't have to answer THAT one! LOL!
