I'm being a Grinch

I feel a bit like the Grinch this year. Since this year most of our extra cash will be going towards paint and flooring for the house, we don't have much mula for Christmas presents. For me, one of my favorite things about Christmas is thinking about the most creative and thoughtful gifts I can give someone. When you have low spending limits per person though, sometimes great gift ideas can get too pricey. Plus, we don't have much time to think about Christmas this year because we have multiple things going on all at once.

I've been listening to my Holiday mix in my car, I went over to help the in-laws decorate their Christmas tree, and Jeff and I are even playing Joseph and Mary at our ward Christmas dinner, but it still doesn't feel like Christmas. What are some of the best ways to get into the Christmas spirit?

Baking always does it for me. I bake cookies for, like, three days straight and then the whole house smells fantastic for an entire week. I give most of them away as presents to coworkers and friends but always save enough to put my roommates and me into sugar shock.

I wish I knew. I'm totally having the same problem! We don't even have our tree up yet. :(

Christmas music, lights, wrapping paper, lights, and then more lights. So maybe you just need to buy one of those triditional outdoor lightbulbs and keep it with you at all times until you can have lights in your new house. When do you move in?

We move in this weekend, but I'm not putting up any Christmas decore. We will be busy unpacking. How are we managing to move on one of the worst weeks
