I wanted to spend $200 on Christmas for myself and my husband.

I spent rewards points to get him a PSP and $50 on some Star Wars memorabilia off Craigslist.

He had a budget of $150. At some point I asked him and he said he had gone "a little over." Worrisome because, to him, "a little" can mean anything. I checked the cost of my two presents and found out he went about $50 over. Not great, but not bad, given his limited funds. And I love, love, love the presents!

Finally, we allotted $10 per person for our parents and Tim's aunt & uncle. With shipping, we just about made the budget.

So we spent $300 on Christmas altogether. More than I wanted, but still not bad.

Christmas was way too hectic and I really did not have a good plan. Main reason why I went over budget. I am going to start making a plan tomorrow for next Christmas and stick too it!!

I had forgotten a couple items on the list when I made the budget and saved the money ahead of time. Those items are now added. I also need to spend less on the boys.
