i dont see a poll

Its poll number 5

lol... it was 21 for me.

I noticed that people are cutting back on gifts..so what are you doing differently? I'm cutting down on the amount of presents and I'm making some gifts so that they are more meaningful.

I swear I still dont see a new poll. I'm feeling totally daft.

I see no poll... :(

it's there, i promise!

i am buying less since i tend to overdo the holidays.

plus, we just bought a new house.

I have no poll, am I missing something???

I voted!

I voted for the same as always, but the same as always for me for the past few years has been to cut back on spending. Still climbing our way out of debt, but I believe there's an end in sight. It's kind of funny that everyone is starting to use the same spend thrifty tricks that I've been using for awhile now.

I found one! They one about what, if anything, we are doing different this holiday season with the change in the economy.

I agree with Christeena....same as always but limiting who we give gifts to. Call me stingy but I don't feel like I need to give a gift to everyone under the sun just because its Christmas. I never really liked that. Plus having a kid sort of always you to get away with not giving adults gifts.

Our entire lifestyle has changed, but that was more becasue we now have a monthly college tuition bill...it IS nice, however, that the rest of the country seems to be pulling things in along with us...it makes my kids feel more like it isn't just them sacrificing for their older sister! :)

For esample...I found excellent name brand ( near new) ski wear for each of my girls on eBay! Burton, Obermeyer...they are thrilled!

I'm cutting way back. But then I added two more kids to my house this year. :)
I keep thinking about how I hate my job and that I want to go back to school again to change careers but I'm scared. Nursing is one of the top fields. But what do you do when you hate your office?
