Debbie Lomax says there's no better place to hide her splurges than under the tree.
I have three kids. They are always needing clothes or shoes and I totally buy them on the sly. When the American Express bill comes, then I get in trouble. I'll use my mother's credit card and give her cash from the groceries. I stash things in the guest bedroom. Christmas is a great time to bring extra gifts and purchases into the house. I can slip purchases in under the tree. Santa always is very generous. But I get why my husband's upset, I definitely over shop.
