Christmas is almost upon us and what stage of preparation are you in?
Do you have a gift list made, have you bought any gifts? Or maybe like me, you haven’t given it a thought yet! It seems every year I’m out there a couple days before Christmas finishing up a few things.
I’m becoming more minimalistic in my thinking though and along with that my Christmas shopping has become more minimalistic too! There have been Christmas’s in the past that I have gone into debt to buy gifts and I now realize that is the wrong thing for me to do. I want to remember the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus and make it more about that.
But now, no more of my rattling on, let’s focus on why you’re here. The This & That Holiday Giveaway Hop!
I am giving away a $50.00 Visa gift card in this giveaway!
Who can’t use more money at this time of year? So in that line of thinking, I decided to offer the Visa card so you can purchase the gift you choose for someone special. So enter here and then go to all of the other blogs and enter there too!
Enter the This & That holiday giveaway hop for a chance to win a $50 Visa gift card! #holidayhop #giveaway #This&That #win Click To TweetI received no compensation for this giveaway.

I have bought quite a few things this year. I will go to New Hampshire shopping for five days the first week of December. Thanks for the super giveaway opportunity.
Yes, I have hopefully started my shopping by entering giveaways. I hope to win my gifts since it has been a tight year. We are retired and on a fixed income and in the past 7 months I have had 2 major back surgeries with complications. OUCH! Lots of extra medical bills.

No, I haven’t bought the first Christmas gift yet. I never started early in the past because, as crazy as it sounds, I could never get in the holiday spirit unless I was rushing around getting those last minute gifts. Now that I am older, disabled and can barely walk, I can’t get out into the crowds to shop anymore. I have to do all of my shopping online.
