This year, we are trying to take things a little lighter and not buy as much as we did last year.  We want to spend more time this season contemplating the true meaning of Christmas and not spend it shopping!  We got a large chunk of our shopping out of the way today and were very happy!  🙂  We try as hard as we can to stay away from stores, especially on Black Friday!  Amazon is our new best friend in helping us out with this!  The cool thing is that not one thing we bought today cost us a penny for shipping!  🙂
