How much are you spending on Christmas this year?

[BadGirl]

We are at fifteen hundred bucks for our family. We limited our budget to $125 per kid(x5) and $875 for miscellaneous gifts ("family" present for us all, plus my gift to Bob and his gift to me).

I still believe that we went over budget.

I spent way over 500...I don't even know the exact amount...but hell its christmas so I splurged a little....one lady last night told me she has spent over 4,000 so far...ugh!!!

We went way overboard with T this year but some of his gifts are practical and stuff I would have bought anyway (clothes & ATV chest protector - that stuff isn't cheap so if you look at toys alone I didn't do too bad). We buy for a ton of people but I'm a bargain shopper, even still I'd say we ended up around $1,500. Every year I cut back a little but when I figure it all out it's still crazy.

I read the title too fast and thought it said "Where are you spending Christmas this year?". I try not to think too much about how much I spent.

 

[bresamil]

I don't want to think about it.

I am at about a grand right now and still have my parents and brother and his SO. So I am thinking about 1500 this year. Xmas puppy was the majority of the grand. But I am hoping it will all be worth it when I see her face when we get the lil rascal

I really haven't kept track at all, but I have to say that it's been much easier shopping this Christmas than last Christmas (woohoo for jobs). I had to be really creative last year in order to stretch out my money. This year I bought for my parents, my older brother (and his birthday is Weds), my boyfriend, his parents, and his 2 brothers and their wives, and his 2 year old niece, my cousin I'm really close to, my 4 best friends, a coworker (but we've been friends since HS), and my supervisor. Oh, and I sent Christmas cards all over the place. *whew*

And to my POOR karma giver:

How much are you spendi... 12-19-2006 07:06 AM MBFN TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY


Yes, it is very nice to be able to provide for my family nice gifts that I know that they will enjoy. Spending $1,500 on gifts for 12 people doesn't seem particularly high to me, but that's because I have a generous heart and spirit and a JOB that affords me the ability to do nice things for people that I love.

To tell you the truth, $1,500 for 12 people doesn't seem particularly high to me, but that's because I'm not a tight-wad with a 1955 nickle shoved up my azz.

Have a very Merry Holiday Season!

[Shetiger]

Why are you so mean? I'm sure I'm not the only one who hasn't shopped yet.....

I have not started yet

 

[Chainsaw Slayer]

I spend 35 bucks. I bout a new blade for my chainsaw and a bottle of cutting oil.

 

[mrweb]

Do I include the $1320 I just had to spend to have my septic tank pump replaced?

 

[Sadysue]

Well, I put $400 on the survey, but that dosen't include the house we are buying on the 28th or the $1200 dog bf is getting. And I though $400 was good. Haha.

 

[Azzy]

Oh and since we got him on Dec 23rd 2005, the dog is getting a spa day at Petco and a few new toys and treats. He'll love it.

I'm glad that my threat for the website www.SaveRufus.com has paid off

 

[Two-er]

zero

 

[Mikeinsmd]

I've spent more this year than I spent the last 5 years combined....

 

[dems4me]

I knew I was off to a bad start when I spent about 300.00 on my babies (the cats) Everyone else got what was left over

 

[Kyle]

I do almost all my Christmas Shopping at Dollar General... The high-end stuff I get at Walmart.
