Re: How Much Did you Spend On Christmas???(POLL)
I'm not going to give an exact amount, but we didn't use credit for anything--everything was carefully budgeted way in advance, and I only went over a teensy bit. (Jeff's fault!!!!) Soooo...I'd say we feel pretty good about it.
We don't feel pressured to fulfill our kids' every wish. We buy what we can, stuff stockings, and call it a day.
