I was always surprised at how much "poor people" spent on Christmas.
As a Mennonite we gave small symbolic gifts, with focus on getting together with family and a celebratory meal.
I really don't know how much we spend on Christmas now. I think I came up with a number once for an AFF poll.

About the same as usual - I put back money each week in a Christmas/Birthday fund, so I'm never caught by surprise. I refuse to go in debt over Christmas!
