No Longer a Member | Thanks for everyones comments. Even when we spent $1,000 on her and her Birthday is Dec 17th. That $1,000 doesn't even count that. She has everything now except for a IPOD. She doesn't want one because it cost money to download songs. LOL Anyway, She is going to be 16 on Dec. 17th. I am giving her a party and a limo ride for 2 hours. She is also letting her best friend spend the night and going out to eat. When I was a kid, I didn't get that much due to having a twin sister and an older brother. When I was a teenager, I got $100.00. Now that I'm 42 I get to share $50.00 with my husband and daughter. Next year we will not get anything from my parents. That is fine with me because I rather give then receive. Money is really hard to come by. Even with Caitlin getting $1,000 worth of presents, we always donate a lot to a family in need. She is not getting that much this year. She tosses everything to the side like she is saying: NEXT and I'm kinda sick of it. She thinks she's a princess!!! I know it's my fault. She has special needs and I spoiled her. |

| We have cut back this year also....... We buy for 3 daughters, their husbands and 6 Grandchildren. (plus our parents). We are cutting back.... about 25% less this year. $230 on the kids, $130 on the Grandkids, and $100 on parents. It really adds up as our family grows.... and as it gets bigger.... we will cut back even more.

| My mom used to go out of her way for Christmas. It's sickening now to think back on how much she'd spend on my brother & I a piece. I was a spoiled brat. I'm only 20 now but I don't expect anything from anyone anymore. It used to be who got the better gifts for Christmas between my friends & I... I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that crap anymore. I think it's really ridiculous now that I look back on it and I wish I would've told my mom then to not buy me that much crap, what's the point really? Sorry if I don't make any sense but one of the replies bothered me a little.

| I admit it...I'm a Christmas gift junkie. I have three kids and spend around $1,000 or so on each . That's because they are older and like video games , electronics and such . It was less when they were babies . They are good boys and usually don't ask for much , I just enjoy getting them things because they are always appreciative of it and take care of their things . If they didn't I may feel differently We do aside money for Christmas so it doesn't come out all at once. That makes it much easier.

| Amelia's gifts total around £200 and that's for 3 large toys and then some small stuff. I know she's only a baby but it's her first Christmas and she's mobile now so there is a ton of things that she can have. It's also her birthday in January so some of the things I want to get her will wait till then. I'm sure as she gets older the gifts will total more.

| I don't have kids but I wanted to comment on the TV thing. A lot of the people standing in line to get the TV's were *just* getting a TV. As in, the whole family agreed they would just buy the $400 TV and then that was it for Christmas, no individual gifts. That makes sense to me. But we are stay-at-home people. We wait for movies to come out on DVD. I decided to make most of our gifts this year, which is great except I think I have spent as much on fabric as I would have spent on gifts!!! But it's definitely more fun. Actually I should be sewing right now!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I use to spend about 700-800 on my dtr but last year when we were reunited with our birth son and he's married I had to cut back and this year I will cut back a little more. I bought them each one nice gift (approx $250) and then a few other gifts. My dtr also is graduating from college 12/21st which really is hard but I bought her gift a few months ago and just paid it off. Plus we are having a party for her that day too!

| My son, an only child, will be 7 in on Jan. 6th so I always get his christmas and birthday presents at the same time. I spend $200 for christmas and $150 for his birthday. Thats the way its been since he was a baby. He gets presents from several other family members too, so it seems like he always ends up with a lot anyway.
