do you spend per kid . Or if do you do a set gift item number? Like 6 gifts per kid ect. I am buying Christmas gifts and was surprised by the amount of money other people said that they spend on there kids a year. I guess you could always say some have more to give then others but i thought that i would ask and see where everyone falls 

"Its pretty much a free for all i buy what I want"
But its all at the Dollar Tree

LOL 

Its a free for all... I get what I want to get them and what my budget allows.

Santa is taking it VERY easy this year.

Being out here in the desert.. it dries me of my holiday spirit. It's not Christmas with no snow :'(

Not the same. :'( I want to see my breath as I talk, I want my phalanges red, and numb. I wanna make a snow angel. I want the Christmas lights on my house to shine off the white snow at night and light up the yard. Ohh... I'm getting depressed. :'( 

My parents always spent a certain amount of money on my brother and I. It wasn't about the number of gifts, it was about the amount of money spent. I only have one child and we already have one big gift planned ($200) and I'm sure I'll get more.

This is how I feel. It better be cold in Michigan when I go there in a week. 

Hey it snowed in yucca last year a little and 29 did get some flurries! 

We normally get what they ask for within reason and budget.

Now that hubby's daughter is much older with kids of her own, we spend more on the grandbabies then on her. My son also is older so he gets less then the younger 2. My step son is 12 so he will probably get clothes since that's what he really needs. I'm tired of buying gameboys and PSP's just so they can be sold for cash. Baby Girl on the other hand gets stuff that's easy to pack and move when we go to the next job. 

Christmas is done by our parents every year ....including purchasing the presents for others from us.....And our grandparents do it for our parents ....so i guess I have to wait for my grandkids to start the tradition... Idk why it's this way but I'm not complaining ...... 

Christmas, heck I'm still trying to figure out what I want to give the brats for halloween.... 

I hate Christmas!!!! I try to make it work for the girls, ugh...

Exactly.

In that case, I have to think about that, plan my little's 5th birthday party at the end of November and then Christmas.

I don't even think Calgone can take me away right now!
