Writer's Block: Small Economies

[martelvonc]

[Error: unknown template qotd]Temperature regulation in my house is a challenge. My family want to wear shorts in the winter and parkas in the summer but I am training them in no uncertain terms. I keep the A/C at 78 in the summer and the heat at 58 in the winter. Put the proper clothes on people and stop your whining!

We went to choosing names this year for the adults.

My family is ok financially for now but my niece is a foster mom with 6 kids and my mom is on a fixed income so we decided to cut back and have each person only have to gift to one adult. We can still gift to the kids at will though! :-)

It was a collective sigh of relief for everyone.

Yeah, part of me would like to limit the gifting to the adults of MY generation, but keep the presents flowing freely to both the kids and Grandparents. Good idea!
