The time stretched out because he took two semesters off when our son was born, and he changed fields mid-study to one that has better employability.). After all, I have many aunts and uncles who winter in Florida, so I would have family nearby and my mom could come to visit to escape the Michigan cold. We’d miss family.

This year, my family has agreed to Holiday Budget. There are added incentives for cardholders during the holidays, helping you to stretch your budget. Making a list of the items I want to get and who to get them for is helping me stay on track. Here is our shopping list this year. Please don’t show my kids!

I went on buying trips to New York for the fancy ladies wear shop run by one aunt (they used to model the dresses at high end shops), learned the uniform business from another aunt, and was taught the basics of the Borscht Belt hospitality business by a great cousin. After dinner, Dad went off to Schul with his brothers.

My WWII era uncle and his wife made trips annually with one of their 4 grandchildren (a different one each year). But our best trip was in 2012, when we funded a trip to Yellowstone with our two sons, their wives and our grandchildren. For our Yellowstone trip, I budgeted $9,000 for everyone for the entire trip to be funded by us.
