Christmas spending 2018

[Great-Kazoo]

ZILCH. Until the garage gets built nary a penny. I'll probably give the wife a Christmas card with $3-400. Our daughter got another revolver for her b-day so she's set.




Everyone else. I'm a mean one Mr. Grinch.

What? Being married to you isn?t already the best gift ever?

Whatever the overtimes I've worked will get, it's been a tight one this year.

I'm not a Christmas kinda guy. As a matter of fact, I really hate it. Not the holiday or the meaning, just what it's become. Wife and I will probably exchange some little thing or another that we know the other wants/needs, cards for everyone else...and she does all of those. I just sign some of them.

The only holidays I get excited over are Independence Day and Thanksgiving.

I agree with you there, even my wife has been sucked into the materialistic side of it over the last couple of years, I don't even want anyTHING anymore.

I’m planning $600 between my two kids. It’s stuff I’d buy them regardless, at least that’s how I justify it to myself without being to materialistic. Plus they’re kids so. Everyone else Bah Humbug!!! They’re lucky if I go to their house or call them.

No limit put on it for my kids and wife, just whatever is awesome that they can use or want or need plus some cool things too.
We do have to draw names from a hat on my wife’s side because there are just too many adults so we each buy for one person but the kids get something from everyone

$0.00 for adult relatives. Mutual gift giving ban.

$50 to $100 for 2 young nefews.

Grew up with this, so it wont change. I'll get what I want, when I want it. Always disliked gifts I never wanted, nor have any use for.

Call me Scrooge, but Christmas is about spending time with family, not spending money on disposable junk.

I like the no adult relatives. We do two name draws. One for each side of the family and that's fairly limited within like brothers and and sisters and significant others, no cousins aunts, or uncles. One side of the family is a $50 and the other side is $100 limit. My wife gets gifts for our two kids and my niece and nephew and a couple other kids in our lives that have extremely rough childhoods. But no budget.

I only have a son and future daughter-in-law that I usually get gift cards anyone else gets a personal StagLefty wood carving (which are usually greatly appreciated). Old man pension income doesn't allow for a large gift budget !!
