How much do you budget for Christmas? - GoFuckYourself.com

ronaldo · 09-22-2004, 08:58 AM

I told someone we budget about $2000.00 for Christmas and he nearly fell off his chair.

For 2 kids, about another 10 people to buy for, and our Christmas booze I think $2000 is pretty much right on the mark.

Christ, with the price of things now, I think that's cheap even.

How much do YOU spend on Christmas?

okny · 09-22-2004, 08:59 AM

About the same, depending on how i feel.

eroswebmaster · 09-22-2004, 08:59 AM

around $100K

Manowar · 09-22-2004, 09:00 AM

usually about $1500 for presents and stuff for family, no children here so its expected.

Groove · 09-22-2004, 09:01 AM

loverboy · 09-22-2004, 09:02 AM

Groove · 09-22-2004, 09:03 AM

Reak · 09-22-2004, 09:04 AM

4500 Euro

Tala · 09-22-2004, 09:05 AM

Depends on how much I have available to spend. It's usually not much at all.

Jakke PNG · 09-22-2004, 09:06 AM

benc · 09-22-2004, 09:06 AM

Damn Derek, with that hillbilly family of yours, what does that run you? $3000-$4000 for your immediate family?

Peaches · 09-22-2004, 09:14 AM

I don't budget - I buy crap all year long if I see something I think someone might like. Even little things. Then I wrap it up for Christmas

My Mom does the same thing and as a result, there are 100's of presents under the tree every year for about 10 people.

Rankings · 09-22-2004, 09:17 AM

about 1 grand

strobi · 09-22-2004, 09:17 AM

My grandmother and both of my godmothers used to do that. There would be bunches of presents and a huge, full stocking for everyone.

Part of the fun, she told me, was remembering what she had gotten for others when they opened the gifts. It was almost always a surprise for her too.

Oh yeah, our stockings are literally overflowing! There are several of us who buy stocking stuff

And the remembering of the gifts: One year my SIL opened something from my Mom and while she was very gracious, it was obviously something that she would never use.....my Mom looked over "Oops! That's not yours, hold on a minute" Runs downstairs and gets the REAL gift

Right now I already have 4 large bags FILLED with stuff ready to wrap

wdsguy · 09-22-2004, 09:28 AM

I budget about 500 to 1 grand

MandyBlake · 09-22-2004, 09:31 AM

We don't budget anything for Xmas either.
When the time comes, we go shopping and spend what we spend.
I do agree that it is smart to save throughout the year for it though. Then it's not as big of a shock to the pockets.
