How much do you spend on Christmas?

[anna_66]

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.

it really is different each year..... one year I can get away with a low low budget and get everyone something for very less $$..... I usually buy for my mom,dad,bro, sis, hubby and kid......and theres also the pets but which i get pressies way before.....

this year I have not bought anything for anyone yet .... I have tried to buy things along the year so I´m left with very little to buy at this time of year, but not this year....

I plan to buy myself a new digi .... so prob 200-300.... and that´s it for me... oh wait and my pt dog calendar also

for hubby I have already some shirts pre ordered....70( incl. shipping)
for the pets I already have very yummy treats.....15
for my kid I need to go to a few toy stores :P but prob 50

and the rest of my family I need to go shopping but around 15-20 depending on what i find.... maybe even less, maybe way more...

on decorations I have been using tha same for last 3 yrs so now i bought some extra tree ornaments for like 7.... and will get some more to fill in

I bought also some fabric to make bows for like 5.....
