How much did you spend this christmas?

PHB

How much did you spend this christmas on other people?
I've heard some scary figures thrown around by my friends.

Nothing. I'm broke atm. But I did gladly accept all incoming pressies

People know i'll sort them out again next year. Normally if i'm going with someone for a while before and during christmas, then between them, family, and m8's, I would be forking out around the €1200 mark.

This year i'm just saving money for beer and taxi fare.

Nothing. Yet. I'll buy everyone something they'd like after christmas.

Creamy Goodness

spent 100 euros which is well enough for some one like me whos broke

Big Chief

about 500/600 euro odd

ColinM

I'm not buying anybody anything this year, as I'm saving up to buy myself some new stuff.

yellum

Probably around €600 or so.

One person I spent €120 on and for what the present was it wasn't worth it. It cost that much due to customs fees and shipping. Bastards.

Mother and father each got something worth €60.
Goddaughter got a dvd player.
Lots of friends for books ranging from €10-20.
And one person for Jelly Tots.

Of course I got myself lots of presents too. Unless I was going out with someone long term I wouldn't spend more than €100 on one person. People go too far during Christmas. I think its better to get gifts that mean something than are so expensive that they have to be appreciated.

about 90 to 95 yoyo's

bought only the bare essentials this yr, as i didnt have the money this year to splash out on nice stuff so i bought presy's for those poeple (family and friends) that mean the most to me (aaaaaawwwwww sickenly cute isnt it),

spent aproxmitly 300-400 on gift's alone. = 250$ on return trip to new york +150 exspenses. ( beer, cab fare, bail money, {i cant go back}!







all in all it's going to be exspensive!

Rabies

about €200 - €220. all bought on credit cos i'm so broke this year.:(

Kalina

I've spent about €350 on my family and then about a €200 on myself. I wouldn't have spent even 20% of that cos I was broke but I gor €1,000 tax back last week, couldn't have been timed better!

Am I the only one seeing the Euro symbols as some crazy hybrid of a capital T and lowercase b?

Spent a load of family as usual. Didn't have to resort to vouchers this time, which was nice. And Santa bought me a Wacom tablet thing which I've wanted for years.

So I'm happy.

Looks fin€ to me!

I spent nothing at all on myself and its a cheek to ask how much I spent on others!

Mike.

I spent nothing(on other people at least.)


Seriously it's the only way. If anyone asks you for something or whatever just get into a REALLY long speech about the ever growing commerciality of Christmas and they'll fúck off eventually

dangerman

i didnt spend much,

just seeing all the gimps in brown thomas (i went in to use the toilet) buying billion pound shite makes me sick.

Oh christ. I feel sorry for them. Fight club syndrome - if I just get*this* gucci cock warmer my bf and I will be complete.

quank

i spent zilch on everybody coz im so kind giving and generous

nah, im only jokin, i aint that mean
i got everyone a special HUG©
only family though
couldnt be bothered with so called friends:rolleyes:

ColinM

Remember the episode of Seinfeld where George got a present which was a card that read "A donation of $100 has been made to charity in your name". That really drove him mental.
Can you imagined how pissed off you'd be if you got that for christmas?

This year i'm just saving money for beer and taxi fare.

... you are as cold as ice...

I'd only 6 people to buy presents for... but I still managed to spend 3 weeks wages on them?!!?! ....

I shant be drinking this Christmas ....

b!*tards better like what I got them ....

besides ... I can still go to the pub... and like... not drink :eek:
or dear.. what have I done?!?!!?!?!

Seraphina

i just got a job so i went a bit more overboard than usual. i get crazy ideas and i just managed to prevent myself going through with them.
if the present is good enough, i dont mind spending the cash, sometimes i have to be careful though.
im in the process of debating upon a rather expensive pressie for someone special

cant figure out if i should go for it or not.
300euro too much for one person?
it sounds ridiculous when i think about it
/me ponders more.
