1st Holiday Not Using Credit Cards

As the holiday shopping extravaganza is drawing to a close I realized something. This is the very first holiday in my adult life, that I have not used a single credit card. While it caused some stress at the time of planning out my gift giving, now that everything is pretty much taken care of, I feel good knowing there isn't going to be a bill waiting at the end of the month. It also makes you really look at whats actually important, and that's not something you can find in a store .... according to Dr. Seuss :-D
