How much will you spend this Holiday Season????

SPEEDY MCCREADY

When all is said and done...

After buying the tree, the gifts, the food, the cookies, etc. etc.

How much will you end up spending???

It looks like we will spend $600-$800....

This isnt a pissing contest...
I realize some will spend more than others, for many different reasons.

I am just curious.....

after my best friends gift and gifts for her kids (b days included though)... then shipping to the great white north.... ordering a first pressing vinyl for the new guy plus frame.... sweets for the family and coworkers.... I'll probably spend 300$$ tops, throw in some good wine too oh and I bought all the seasons of It's always sunny in Philadelphia for myself :P

it's a small christmas for me, but it's better than no christmas like last year. (*my tree is artificial and my parents put it up for me while I was away for a few days for work)

we actually did pretty well this year. we bought gifts early & really stuck to our budget. it's tough b/c there are so many kids on my side of the family, but we were able to buy gifts for everyone & only spent half of what we spent last year! i still don't know how we did it! total: about $500 (including decorations, tree, gifts, etc)

I spent a good portion of my christmas budget on 2009 bootlegs and a couple of PJ onesies for my daughter

Whatever you're spending + $1

Leathe?ma?

not much, and no tree(

mca47

Plane ticket home to Chicago: $400
Gifts: ~$300
Booze in order to deal with my family: $ A LOT

I think when it's all said and done I'm probably going to be spending around $1000 or so.

Pretty sad considering how much I hate Christmas...

Flagg

I set a budget of $650 this year . . .

. . . and blew right past it yesterday. hehehehehe

I am such a sucker when it comes to Christmas. I know it shouldn't be about the gifts and the money but I am really tight with money the rest of the year so splurging is fun.

what about going out and celebrating tho?
that's where we spend the bulk of our $$$.
we go out a LOT during the holiday season, try new restaurants, drink often, etc, etc. it adds up.
tree and poinsetta = $90.
gifts + cards/wrap/ribbon = $300
celebrating = $500+

QuarterToTen

plenty.

but never as much as i'd like.

i love Christmas.
