Another year of Holiday frustration
So another Xmas is on its way.. what does that mean?
I am living with a hubby who is uber anxious about money, even when he doesnt need to be... so the idea of spending on gifts is a big issue... I get excited about the holidays untilthe idea that i have to go shopping for everyone comes up... we donthave a lot of extra cash, and I dont want to spend a tone either, but I dred the mood Hubby gets into and the issues we have as a result...
I just finished fighting with him on msn for I mentioned I need to get started on getting things, and he got all anxious and argumentative, which made me get angry for he yet again is reacting over money... pointing out that we cant spend a lot and that he will do what he can to get some cash that he can spare to get gifts.. so I pointed out that I was not asking for hundreds of dollars, adn that I am fully aware that we cannot go crazy, but that he needs to know I need time so that I am not last minute buying for I HATE last minute buying....
Anyways.. we fought... now I am bitter for again Xmas is all about money an not about fnding ways to show we care... SO.. I am going to do what I can to make what I can and spend as little $$ but still be excited.... and try and not let the all mighty dollar make me dred Xmas too!
