Every year I promise to keep the holiday spending reasonable, and every year I blow past it. 每年我都保证节日开销要控制在合理范围内,结果每年都超得离谱。

Oh, it sneaks up on you. 哎,它就是不知不觉就上去了。

A little gift here, a little there, and suddenly it's hundreds. 这儿买个小礼物,那儿买点小东西,突然就花了好几百。

The gifts I can justify. 礼物我还能给自己找理由。

It's the decorations and the food I don't need. 真正让我花冤枉钱的是那些装饰和吃的。

That's where it always gets me too. 我也是每次都栽在这上面。

Nobody remembers how fancy the table was anyway. 反正也没人记得桌子摆得多精致。

Exactly. 没错。

This year I'm setting a real limit and actually sticking to it. 今年我要定个真正的上限,而且说到做到。

I'll believe it when I see it. 我信你才怪。

But honestly, the memories cost nothing. 不过说真的,回忆是不花钱的。
