Did you remember to include mine ?Guess I'm not average because the cash gifts I give come to more than that. Then there are the little stocking stuffer things. Eight people.
Certainly, dear!Did you remember to include mine ?
No, no, silly! More than the average $975 total.More than $17K. Well hello Grandma! Your memory must be going, dear. Sure, I'm one of your kids.
It seems low to me too, as an average. I did well this year at keeping things sensible.Actually, that seems low to me...but then again it is an average. Our average is zero. We don't celebrate Christmas since we are Muslims. I'm so glad to be out of the rat race of trying to figure out what to get people. It also involved going to different stores, which took up a lot of time.But when we were still Christians, online shopping wasn't popular like it is now. Eventually I started just giving the children money, but you can't do that with adults. Gift cards are now the thing.
Good for you Hearlady. It's sad when people bust their budgets and go into deep debt after spending too much on gifts.It seems low to me too, as an average. I did well this year at keeping things sensible.
We are below that this year.
I am definitely below that... waaaayyy below that..in fact I don't remember ever a time when I spent anything near that on Christmas gifts...It seems low to me too, as an average. I did well this year at keeping things sensible.
We are below that this year.
Yes. I think I'm counting food, travel, all holiday expenses.I am definitely below that... waaaayyy below that..in fact I don't remember ever a time when I spent anything near that on Christmas gifts...
