Christmas Budget

[Billy n NC]

Okay, tis the season to buy presents.

What is your budget for christmas gifts for everyone in your family this year.

This is for your family you live with.. Mommy Daddy Kids

not inlaws, outlaws, brothers, sisters etc.

well, at first I didn't know how to vote since I really do start Christmas shopping in February and give random CHristmas gifts thrughout the year. I don't keep track except that I try to remember that I got something for someone, so that I try to do my best to keep it "even".

I do buy some presents at Christmas time, though, and so I voted at the low end, since I don't spend "much" during the actual season - and Mary's parents and family draw names, so we only get presents for one person each, though Mary usually gets more for the "babies".

This year, My daughter and son-in-law are living in their own (new) home, so won't be doing as much as if they were at home, but then again, come early spring, she is expecting another grandbaby for us and of course it is my duty and responsibility to doat and spoil my grandchildren - so it's kinda like Christmas for them every week, or at least a couple times a month!

overall? I dunno, don't even want to try to track it. I try to live as I teach my children to be giving people and to give while they can, when they can whenever they can.
