I'm a johnny-come-lately in this challenge. I'm at $571 in my personal Christmas fund so far. I'm aiming for $1000 by Christmas.
Our joint Christmas fund will come from leftover money from the budget...if we have any. We've been pretty lax this year about putting aside money for Christmas. We made a big trip east to visit the girls. This year DH and I decided to have a 'no gift' Christmas for the two of us. We just can't think of anything we need or want. We're putting money on the kids' student loans instead.Last edited by peanut; 10-10-2011 at 11:52 PM.

Christmas fund at $670.
This is also a birthday fund, so some may disappear before Christmas.

Still haven't taken my change in. Haven't needed to. It would be nice if I didn't have to and continue adding to it for Christmas 2012!

I think I'd like to start my Christmas 2012 challenge on January 1.
Anyone else interested in joining me?
It was so less stressful this year by just saving a little at a time for it.Emergency Fund $1500

Frugal Me: I didn't start till late in the game this year. Do yeah, I'd like to start early too. I'm going to try and put aside $100 a month and see how it goes.
