I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. We had a great time hosting Christmas dinner at our house for the second year in the row. Lots of food, lots of family, and not a lot of gifts—just how it should be. We used the weak Economy as an excuse not to exchange gifts with just about everyone we know. That made Christmas a lot less stressful and a lot less expensive.

This week, I participated in the Carnival of Personal Finance and the Carnival of Debt Reduction. Many thanks to Saving to Invest and Destroy Debt for hosting the blog carnivals this week.

I haven’t read many blogs over the past week and that will continue as I plan to be away from this blog and the Internet in general until about January 5th. That being said, I do have a couple of favorites from the past week.

Buy Now Pay Later [from Bonfire of the Brands] – a little anti-consumerism message is always important this time of year.

Fed Destined To Become World’s Largest Auto Dealership [from Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis] – the bailout madness is really going too far. Actually, it had gone too far months ago and now I guess we’re just in the laughable stage.

Happy New Year!
