Here we go again. I have done over 555 - 4 o’clocky’s *- My signature daily blog ! I know alot of you read it and that gives me the drive to be in your life with My thoughts and ideas every day 😉

This is me on the road and on a mission. A Christmas mission that is.

About 2 years ago I’ve written about the ‘best’ time to submit a blogpost so you’ll receive worldwide exposure. I came up with the term 4 o'clocky and I thought this might be a great idea to make a blogpost every day at 4 o'clock local time with this title. Every day I’ll submit a blogpost about something that keeps me busy, a challange, a contest or something important enough to share so Lets blog on and See you every day here at 4 !

This is My 4 o’clocky for today...

Have you already purchased your Christmas gifts? Or Are you just recovering from thanxgiving or Sinterklaas, well you can get back to work. Celebrating Christmas with presents under the tree is becoming increasingly popular. With us in any case. The Netherlands is now spending more money for Christmas than two years ago. Let's hope the children have "normal" wishes this year.

That whole Christmas thing is a pricey thing if you don't think about it in time. How pricey, you can control it (in part), but that December (thanks in part to Sinterklaas) is not the cheapest month of the year is a sure thing. From summer on I try to take ideas and presents with me when I see something nice. That saves a lot in December. About 100 euros is spent for the gift for a child in the Netherlands. So in the case of two children, you already set 200 euros apart. The price tag of the gift for the partner is another story, which starts in some families with 'none' (guess: the money ran out), to almost 25 euros or - for the man or woman who apparently was above average - more than 500 euro.

We bought the Sonos lamps with music for the bedrooms but research shows that the Dutch of all Europeans spend the least on Christmas gifts, with an average spend of 25 euros per gift - for partners, children and other relatives alike. Nice to know haha we aren’t average! And we bought the nesseccary stuff we needed and gave it as a present.

We got everything for every member of our family, so now wrapping and wait for the 25th of December
