When I . . . err . . . I mean the Easter Bunny put together my children's Easter baskets this year, I realized that I wasn't doing a very good job keeping my promise. It seems that from the day after Christmas until Easter, I pick up little things that I find an especially good deal on and put them aside for the kids' Easter baskets. This is the result of my doing that . . .
It doesn't look like I'm doing a very good job not spending money on my children, does it? Then from the day after Easter until Christmas, I do the same thing for stocking stuffers. Even though I get some amazing deals, the amount of money I end up spending from going so far overboard is not that much less. The only good thing I can say is that at least my children are learning that they don't get to bring something home every time we go into a store, but rather they will get goodies on special days. That's something, isn't it?
