But my problem with Christmas shopping is that I see something that a family member would love, well over my self-set limit, and buy it anyway. It is easier to set limits on myself than to set limits on what I buy for my family. In fact Christmas is ALWAYS where I mess up my finances. I can be pretty frugal otherwise, but I really spend way too much at Christmas...except this year, no gift giving, sniff, sniff...except of course, I have already decided to break the rule made by others and buy my mother something extravagant!
