Christmas ideas

So, Christmas is less than 4 months away. Where does the time go? This is my first Christmas in 30 years that I don't have my SIP check to supplement my Christmas spending. And it makes me sad. I love buying Christmas presents! I love trying to find the perfect gift for each person. I don't like the actual shopping, but the buying, I love. And the wrapping, and giving, etc.
This year I am going to try to make gifts. I have been searching the internet for ideas. I think I have found a few good ones. Now I just have to find a way to pay for them. I hope that Brad has more work for me. And I need to be careful about going out to eat, and when I do, keep it to a minimum. No extras.
I think I am going to have to put Martha (the cleaning lady) off the month of October.
So, wish me luck. Frugal is not my strong suit. But I hope it will be!!!!
