Hey there, dear readers- I know that most of you are probably very busy with holiday festivities and preparations.

Seems pretty extravagant for a “hallmark holiday”. The older I get and the more cycles of holidays I churn through, the more I start to stop and question my automatic associations and temptations to spend. If I spend $66 dollars EACH year on EACH random/manufactured holiday, I am wasting an awful lot of money on nothing.
