I saved up for many months so that I could send them to the Bahamas for 4 nights of relaxation. I'm sorry I didn't realize that knitting was expensive. Maybe I can pick up painting? Or is that even more expensive? My parents had a stressful year. I saved up for many months so that I could send them to the Bahamas for 4 nights of relaxation.

I just have to comment on something that you said in point #7 above on saving money on Christmas gifts. You said that you like to be generous in your gift giving and then said but that maybe you will take up something like knitting. Knitting as a way to save money on gifts?! I would just like to point out to you that knitting is an expensive hobby. Just ask my husband!! I make handknit items with quality yarns (yes, will confess, I am a yarn snob. I do not do acrylic yarns and I do not buy my yarn at Joanne's, Hobby Lobby, or Michael's preferring the fabulous yarns at specialty yarn stores.) I make fingerless gloves, sweaters, purses, scarves, shawls, etc. If you counted the cost of the yarn and paid me by the hour for my handknits there is no way you could afford me. For example, I used beautiful, soft, wool yarn imported from Italy which cost $34/scarf for the yarn alone--no labor costs. I can always find items on sale in stores for probably 50-75% less than something that I make. I knit because I like to create beautiful things (and yes it helps to assuage my guilt when sitting in front of the TV if I am doing something productive as well). I only knit things for people who have expressed a desire to have something knit by me. I tailor my gifts to recipients based on their color preferences, fashion sense, etc. Please, please, please stop perpetuating the myth that if something is handknit it must be cheap, or that a gift giver doesn't think enough of you to buy something storebought. It is actually quite the contrary. You have to mean something to me for me to spend precious time and money creating something one of a kind for you.
