Started Christmas Shopping Today

Today on my lunch break I went to the store and started Christmas shopping. I got new bikes for both kids. And I also bought a shirt, Thomas the Train DVD, and extra train set pieces for my son. I was also looking for a Thomas plug n play game, but they didn't have any. As soon as I can find that I will be done shopping for my son. So at least I got a start. I am going to purchase some gifts each week and be done the week before Christmas. Last year I used my credit card to purchase all my gifts. This year my goal is to pay cash for at least half of the gifts so I am not paying for them for months afterwards. Hopefully I will be able to stick to that.
