I'm not stressing over Christmas because I've never had a problem finding really nice gifts online for a small price. I visit several forums that list online deals, and rarely have to leave my home to shop for anything for Christmas.
I have a wishlist for each of my children and they update it for me occasionally. I shop year round and find things from their wish lists. For extended family, if we do anything at all, it's usually a recent family photo in a nice frame.
This year, I'm working on a special project for my parents. I've taken their box of snapshots that they've taken over the years, and I'm putting them all into photo albums. It's just something they've never taken time to do. I'm also scanning them all and putting them onto CDs that they can put somewhere in case anything ever happens to the paper photos. That will mean more to my mom than anything I could go and buy for her.
As for the rest of the shopping...I've often ended up with $700 or $800 worth of gifts for under $200. That's usually about the limit on my Christmas budget, because I buy Christmas only with what I can make on surveys. It's not looking that great this year from the surveys, so I've been putting some of my ebay sales money into my Christmas shopping fund.

I do that too. The gift shopping for Xmas doesn't bother me, but all the hype starting in about Sept does, lol!

I thought you meant until Bush is out of office, but that's more days away (sniff!). But it will be even better than Christmas!
