Ooh, I like this challenge! We are doing our shopping on November 11th (hubby took the day off), but I can still save & make money after that.

My husband and I have put aside $100/month towards our Christmas budget for the last 5 years. Every October we go Christmas shopping (to beat the crowds and get a head start!) Our budget for our 4 kids, parents, siblings and assorted other people (teachers, mail lady, etc.) has always come out of that $1000. Charity (Operation Christmas Child, Salvation Army Angel Tree) comes out of a different budget. Having the cash and not worrying about the Christmas credit card bills coming in January has made Christmas SO MUCH MORE FUN for us!
