  <description><![CDATA[There are 67 days left until Christmas. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Are you excited about the holidays this year, even with the way the economy is?<br><br>Last year my holiday season was horrible. I was able to give my children an okay holiday thanks to people in my community helping me out. I swore I wasn't going to go through another year like that one. I started finding deals immediately after Christmas. Right now I have a closet full of presents. I am excited not to have the pressure of the holidays on my shoulders---I'll save that pressure for other things--like heat!!<br><br>How are you getting along with the holidays coming up?<br>

  <description><![CDATA[This will be our first Christmas that we can`t buy much. Our kids are all older now so they understand. We are going to do our best. The Grandkids will be the ones that we really concentrate on.

  <description><![CDATA[I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet. I am one of those last minute shoppers. I will say that this year the children will be getting less than they have in past years because our budget is so tight.<br>

  <description><![CDATA[My Christmas shopping list gets shorter every year.&nbsp; I no longer go all out to buy gifts.&nbsp; I limit myself to family.&nbsp; I also just give cash to god sons and god daughters, and thank goodness I don't have very many.
