allie and i were talking the other day about how our family's christmas gift-giving habits have changed in recent years. a few years ago i can remember spending a ton of dough just on her! she bought me an xbox ($299 at that time) when they first came out and that was only one of the gifts she got me. there were plenty of others too. what were we thinking?? leather jackets, tons of clothes, cha-ching, cha-ching. we have decided to set realistic limits this year, but trust me, we will still drop a bundle after all is said and done. that's why it always amuses me when i see these lexus ads on tv. someone's spouse is giving them a $50,000 car. does this really happen? can you even get those big bows? apparently the answer is yes. read more here.
going to our annual "snowball" christmas party tomorrow night at the st. paul hotel. we are dispatching the kids at grandma and grandpas house for a sleepover, the first time they have ever taken on all three of the kids for an all-nighter. we hope to go to dinner here before the party.
off from work monday and tuesday. hope to finish up my shopping. more later...
