How much will you spend?

December 3rd, 2007 by Tina Silva

I was reading an article from the Toronto Star where it says that most Canadians will spend over $700 for gifts this holiday season. What a huge number that is! But when you start thinking about electronics, the majority of them are over $100 each, so I can see where that number comes from.

The article also says that over 70% of those surveyed will be getting their holiday gifts at Walmart. I guess I’m included there. A little more than half the gifts I got were indeed from Walmart. The rest was from shopping online at Ebay.ca and from my favourite store Futureshop.ca.

I have just been thinking about the amount I have spent so far. Let me calculate and give a rough estimate. I have estimated that I will be spending around $450 this holiday season. That’s not bad at all. Most of that money is from money I made online in which I say thanks to those companies I work with. It’s great having that extra cash to spend especially during the holiday season.

So how much have you estimated you’ll be spending this Christmas?

My nephew is here!

November 13th, 2007 by Tina Silva

If you are a regular reader on my other blogs, I’m sure you already heard the news then. My nephew was born early this morning at 3:33 a.m. It’s still very surreal because now I’m officially an aunt. I’m still in shock too. I got a chance to visit my sister and my baby nephew today. They are both doing very well and the labour didn’t last long…a mere few minutes. LOL!

I was surprised at that as well. I’m going back to see them both tomorrow morning so I better get my beauty rest. Of course I can’t end this post without showing off a few photos.
