		<description>That&#039;s a great idea.  I just put my reward points in my bank account, because I&#039;m not one on budgeting.  However, the concept of using a credit card responsibly will alleviate you from the financial burden of the holidays is a good point.

I agree with the idea of limiting gifts.  This year it was mostly me buying my wife gifts and her buying me gifts.  We are a little separated from family to do a lot of other gift giving.</description>

		<description>Yea, we went over a bit on our Christmas budget - I guess about $100-$200. But if there is going to be any area that we go overbudget on, I want it to be in giving.</description>
