I have gotten a christmas bonus of 150 before, but I am a stay at home mom now so now $$ bonus. My husband's company got bought out and more than likely no bonus this year, I would be happy with wrapping paper too !
We have tried buying just for the kids, but I always find things I know people will love so I never really stick to it. I make alot of gifts too though.
There are always plenty of 'left overs' at the Wal-mart here, besides the big ticket items. Even if you go the next day they still have the same price.
