I am LOVING your "something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read." I think I'll focus on that for my husband's birthday this year (which falls 8 days before christmas. Mine falls 8 days after. We have an extra busy holiday season!)
We are cutting back on Christmas also, out of necessity. I have to say that it's stressful for me. We don't have kids of our own, and part of our holiday fun is finding the "perfect" aunt and uncle gift for our nieces and nephews. They might cost $10 or $100, it's not about cost, it's just about the kid. But we're setting a low limit this year, and that cuts out a lot of options. However, I'm going to see how creative I can be within our budget. I'll let you know after the holidays how it went!
