conundrum

so with only a week left before my next monthly payday, i have a smidge more money in my account than anticipated. i am torn; should i pay off one or two of my pending bills (gap, billmelater for my shoes) or should i buy the christmas presents that i'll need to bring/send home so as not to put them on a card at a later date?
there's also the problem that a medical bill may arrive in the next month that would need to be paid immediately.
oh, what to do?

I'd buy some Christmas gifts :) Not adding to the debt seems to make sense and could save you from some stressful situations in the future.

I'm already trying to figure out how to add Christmas to a budget that isn't expanding and doesn't really cover everything.

I'm going to miss you at Thanksgiving. Tom and I have a whole turkey this year as it is free from his company. Plus, Tom has to work Friday--Sunday.

i'm still crossing my fingers on winning the lottery. then i'll be visiting.
turns out i didn't actually have 'extra' money because a $155 loan payment hadn't cleared. such is my life.
