Re: How much do people spend on Christmas decorating?
We always include something in the Christmas budget for a new this or that. A new ornament or table decoration. We don't have a real tree anymore (hubby allergies), so I buy a new ornament on occasion. We do the dining table up. We used to put a tiny tree in DD's room. Sometimes outside lights. These neighborhoods used to have themes, but not anymore. One thing my Hubby did eons ago that is a lifesafer for me is to put the tree lights on a remote control. All I've ever had to do is push the button. When we get our door replaced this year, we might get a wreath. We also do up the fireplace mantel. And a small crystal nativity scene my mother gave me long ago and a carved santa that I got from a lady I knew (expensive). So I guess I don't add much on decorating anymore, just the occasional replacement or addition to something. Maybe $50 in a year?
