How much do you spend on Christmas?

We are most likely going to be spending $1000+ on gifts alone. DH gets two turkeys from work as a gift. We always go out for Christmas dinner, I probably won't have time to cook anyway.

In the past it's always been around $1000+ because I always go overboard and buy tons of gifts for everyone.

But this year I really wanted to be thrifty (yes, that makes me feel better than saying cheap)
With the prices of gas, food, hospital bills, dentists bills and all the other necessities plus my work being extremely slow I don't want to dig myself into any deeper hole than I already am.

I bought gifts that I would like to receive, not just any ol' thing that's "cheap".

As for food I don't really spend any more on that than I do any other time.

As I will be paying it off until the summer I guess the answer is too much!!

I buy gifts all year, whenever I see something unique or for a good price i but it and stash it in the closet. Most of the time I don't have a clue who its going to be for! LOL

I suppose all in all I spent about 1000 on Christmas, that includes mom and step-dad, aunt, uncle, a few cousins, boyfriend, and 3 friends. Not too bad seeing as it is only once a year.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Between my family and my in laws, my hubby and I spend around $1000 on gifts.
Decorations... yikes.. if I spend a DIME on anymore decorations I'll shoot myself!!

Food - I do a LOT of baking during the holidays... so I spend easily $250 at the grocery store.
