re: How much did you spend on Christmas this year?

Less this year than ever. It's just my 3 nephews, sister/BIL and mom. My mom built a shed last year so I over did it last year intentionally to help with some tools, cabinets, etc so we agreed to do less this year.

I end up spending about $120 on each nephew, sister, and brother in law. About $400 on my mom this year. I also bought a rifle to keep at my moms so all of us can use it when we are there instead of having to bring our own each time we visit.

I ended up buying myself ski touring gear. $2500. I had been looking the last 3 years but was always intimidated by it because it's going to be new for me. I finally decided to pull the trigger this year.

$1200 on a playset but maybe $600 outside of that

Me: (the finance keeper in our house) "Honey, what is your dollar estimate for our Christmas gift giving this year"

Honey: " whatever it's gonna take"

Me: OK....I estimate about $3K for about 15 folks,,,grandkids get more than kids and nieces/nephews etc

I start in the summer because my family is huge so it doesn't all hit the pocket book at one time. Our children are all grown with adult jobs and mortgages now so suddenly they are less interested in exchanging gifts Which is fine. Our family is more about unique gifts and experiences than dollar amounts anyway.

$0.00 - converted to Judaism for my old lady

I only buy gifts for my 3 kids.

Any brothers and sisters, we decided years ago to just get kids gifts and stop buying each other cheap stuff that we won’t really use.

I think my wife spent $1500 on Christmas cards alone

Same…my wife did all the shopping

Too much but not enough
