Only 88 Shopping Days Left Till Christmas/Chanukah
Christmas is my favorite time of year. I shop for everyone I know just about. I love finding just the perfect gift for each person.

My "REQUIRED" question is:

How many people do you shop for, for Christmas and how much do you usually spend, total, each year on these presents?

I don't buy Christmas presents...never bought one...never planning to...that said, I do shop for Chanukah presents for my parents and sister.

And by the way...I do appreciate your political correctness :-)

Thank you, Jaron, for keeping us politically correct :)

Re: Only 261 Shopping Days Left Till Christmas

Re: Only 261 Shopping Days Left Till Christmas
First of all, thank you for getting me organized and making me write out my Christmas shopping list so early.

My list is quite staggering considering I am from a large family and am married to a man from a large family.

Then, considering that I live in the San Francisco Bay Area where the cost of living is quite high, and the fact that I choose to stay home with my kids and not have the double income that would be comforting, we try to keep the total cost down.

Having explained that much, I shop for 33 people (if I am not forgetting anyone on my early list) and spend in the neighborhood of $1500 (with more than enough going to my 3 little munchkins, of course).

Holy Moses Karen!

How about we just make you the winner of Cyber-Mole so you can buy Christmas gifts this year?


Re: Only 261 Shopping Days Left Till Christmas
I'll take you up on that, Jim. OK, everyone keep that furball away from me! :)


Re: Only 261 Shopping Days Left Till Christmas
I was just kidding about the politically correctness of the post...but thank you for your consideration.

On that token...I do not like to shop...say I typically spend $100 for 3 people....


Re: Only 261 Shopping Days Left Till Christmas/Chanukah
I shop for 5 people and spend around $1000. (Mind you, the majority of that goes to one person. I'll let you figure out who that might be.)


Re: Only 261 Shopping Days Left Till Christmas/Chanukah

Re: Only 261 Shopping Days Left Till Christmas/Chanukah
Apparently the Christmas day counter I used was on based on some other planets calendar :) I have changed the number in teh thread to be a tad more accurate.


Re: Only 261 Shopping Days Left Till Christmas/Chanukah
This doesn't include my son's birthday at the end of November (along with 4 other family members for which we buy presents) and my husband's in December. :)
