Christmas card list has increased while the gift circle has decreased. Rather than purchasing a combined two gifts for every mutual friend between my husband and I, we can get each person one nicer gift. We aren't in any position to host holiday parties, so there goes that expense. Our recent marriage has more impact on our situation this holiday season than the current economic situation.
