She is Italy obsessed! I hope to take here there w/in 5 years (I'd do it over buying a house - lol).LOL. Well, I am freaking because we didn't set a Christmas budget this year. Doing it out of our allotted cash allowance set up during the week. So far, we are doing okay. And I am also okay with not buying tons of useless stuff this year for everyone. Least I know if I bake, everyone will eat it up!It really is nice not to worry about the consumerist stuff. Although, it takes a bit of getting used to when the rest of us are still living that lifestyle. I have to say, Frugal being the new Fad helps too. :) Don’t tell my daughter you’ve been to Italy.

It just felt more right to celebrate winter, family, friends, togetherness and not worry about all the materialistic stuff.
