We never know how much or what we are getting either. I don't use 'extras' I get for Christmas. If I get them I may do a little more, or donate to Sub for Santa or something like that. If I happen to get a large sum it goes to savings/debt/or other budgeted expensenes.
Too many, way to many people, wait for extra money for Christmas and then wonder what they are going to do, and whine that Christmas is soooo hard....um....people it's not a surprise! It happens every year about this time.
