The Simple Dollar wishes all of you a merry Christmas! If you don’t celebrate Christmas, I hope that your winter holidays find you in good cheer!

As for me, I’ll be helping my son empty out his stocking and exchanging a wide assortment of gifts with my family. There’s also a pair of family dinners scheduled, including some delicious Norwegian meat balls. Tomorrow, I’ll leave a note outlining some of the most interesting gifts I gave and received.

If you’d like to leave a holiday message or if you received anything particularly interesting for Christmas, let me know by leaving a comment here!

Hi,
A week back, during one of my google search, I passed by your blog. I have been hooked on since then. I wish you a merry christmas and that you continue writing your blog for a long time to come.
