Christmas Spending Poll

[Camelot Farms]

Quote:
We did same with our teenage DS's. They are getting 'needs' under the tree...clothes etc. Then they get a belated Christmas at tax time.
Our DD is 8 and she knows that the tree wont be as full as usual and she is okay with it because she likes having a SAHM for now anyways.

Well if I had it my way I would only spend $200 t0 $500.00 but wife thinks she needs to buy gifts for evrybody she works with and spends to much for everyone else.

Ahhh Its over $500 for sure, I have to buy for my 2 kids(1 teenager and one 6 year old) My parents and brother and his boy, my hubbys mum and brother and his wife and her parents visiting from holland, My best friends kids and there are three of them and there are afew more, but i start buying for Christmas in July so It doesn't cost me a fortune at the end of the year. I still have to get all the christmas food, We have a cold Christmas Dinner because its always pretty warm here on christmas day we have Cold chicken , ham, prawns and lovely fresh salads, Its too hot to be cooking a roast pork and turkey, I'm cooking 3 chickens the day before Chrissy (Hubby gets 3 frozen chooks from work every year as part of his work bonus). I love Christmas its the best time of year, I'm a giver and love to give presents to the people I love.

Well, I'm making gifts, of things already here at the farm....so I count that as $0 although I'm sure each has some value. Giving a few folks some birds, some eggs, some of our veggies as well....

Hubby and I bought each other a lovely purebred Guard Dog, but he's working (no SS

on the farm)....

We salvaged a lot of chicken equipment, After I clean and give to him, that will be a surprise.....

So I guess I'd say $0 as we focus on the non-material parts of christmas....

We're not grinches but this year has been a tough one economically but we are blessed in every way, every minute and every day....

I still have a little egg money that I might do a last minute shop with...........

More than ....

I'll say the same thing as Speckledhen sez, but for a different reason

The poll should probably be how much did you spend per person you gifted, you can't really get any kind of result not knowing how many people each person purchased gifts for.

I might only spend $50 but only be buying for one, and yet person B might spend $500 on one or 10!

A family of 8 is going to spend more than a couple without kids. Or perhaps the other way around, I know my hubby and I spent alot on each other when we were newly married without children.
