Re: How much are we spending this Christmas comapred to last year
We are aiming for a little less. I have arranged with several relatives not to exchange gifts (we bought for each other's kids) because 1. it's too much money and hassle, and 2. my kids have too much already!
Last year we were probably $900-1000 (two kids, four parents, 7 siblings and spouses total, 4 nieces and nephews, one cousin, and each other)
This year we are shooting for $800-850 (two kids, three parents, 7 siblings/spouses, 2 nieces/nephews, and each other).
I no longer exchange with friends as we traded gift cards each year. Now we pick a night to go out to dinner and a movie together.
