Wow I'm amazed at the amount of money being spent on Xmas gifts

- makes me feel like Scrooge

because I've never spent more than $75.00 on each of my kids when they were young, now that they are adults I've upped that amount to $100.00 each, and same amount for their respective spouses. G-kids each get $75.00. Everybody seems happy enough and enjoy what they get. I used to tell them to make their wish list according to the number of gifts they would like to receive (1 big one or lots of little ones) and they still do it today.
