Re: Average amount of money spent on Christmas
I am probably at that amount. I sent $200 to my sister and $200 to one daughter because they are both having financial hardships big time. I guess you could call me my sister's keeper. In addition to the following:
$100 for 2 children still at home
50 for husband
100 for 3 grandchildren ($50 cash to grandson whose mom is in hardship)
50 for gift cards to family my Bible study group adopted for Christmas
5 to Christmas carroling (sp) recipent
90 for artificial Christmas tree
0 for regifting to my nephew
0 for decorations (used prior years)
0 for wrapping (used Christmas fabricate I had on hand from prior spending habbits)
0 for Christmas dinner (I have plenty of food in the freezer)
0 for neighbors (I'm giving homemade jams from pantry)
$795 total spent
