I've never done this before, but this year I'm really considering it...

we always have one........I go from October to October.........

We don't spend enough on christmas to warrant that.

It cracks me up when people spend more than a month's income on it...what happened to "what christmas is really about" and all of that jazz?

I like to give alot to his parents b/c they gave alot to him as he grew up. It's showing my appreciation for the people they are. My boys don't get much throughout the year. Their b-days are near Christmas as well. Thats why ours reachs up to 2k.

I don't have a savings strickly for Christmas but I usually just start buying presents in October. I used to be really good when I worked retail and I'd be done with Christmas in July.

Are you kidding?? I wish! My mom has had one for years though and I commend her for doing it. lol

Family will be getting handmade gifts this year (quilts, baskets, etc..) so I'll have to buy throughout the year to finish those projects.

I do hope to save a little money those for those big sales before and after Christmas for stuff *I* want lol
