I wanted to take a moment and wish all of you a very Merry Christmas! Today is one of my favorite days of the year. It isn’t the gifts or the treats that makes today my favorite. It is being with my family to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
This past year has been incredible. Many of you just found us and saved money with your holiday shopping and others of you have been around since shortly after the blog was born. We’ve shard a lot of money saving ideas. I look forward to do doing the same in 2013 and hope to add in a few new features which might be helpful as well.
But before I start any of that, I am taking some much needed time to enjoy my family. I appreciate so very much that you “get that” and understand how very important family time is. You know that family will always come first.
That means that this week’s grocery store deals will be a day or so late. (Who wants to spend Christmas day doing coupon matchups??). Some of the other regular features will also come up – but again – later in the week.
Just take today to enjoy your family and celebrate being together. And, if crazy Uncle Bob is doing his rendition of Jingle Bell Rock yet again, embrace and try to enjoy it because, after all, he still is family (even though you might not want to claim him as such)!!!
