Of course, we know we went over Christmas, and just a tiny bit more this week as we finished up the last minute bits of shopping.
We were exceptionally blessed by a couple of Secret Santas this Christmas season, so that covered everything and then some, so that we are going into the New Year without a looming credit card balance, and with a surplus, even, so we are so so grateful to them for that.
