How Much Do You Spend On Christmas

Post by **M H** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 6:24 pm

In the past when the kids were kids were kids and including going out etc I probably spent over £2k a year. I've just had a tot up on what I've spent this year and what I'm likely to and it's still £1k.

Fucking crazy

Our lass does all the shopping, so haven't really got a clue but i'd imagine there'd be tears if I knew.

Spend a fortune on the family but me & the good lady have agreed just to get each other a DVD this year due to the wedding next year.

Although on Christmas day if she ignores our deal & presents me with a £200 watch & I give her The Lion King DVD it could be an awkward moment

You just have to tell her that the real present is a one off experience mate and a surprise

We're up to 2.5 so far and she has just casually mentioned that we haven't bought each other anything yet. The fact that I spent £350 on a bracelet for her 3 weeks ago seems to have been put into the "nice things Anthony does" box as opposed to being considered her Xmas present. This apparently has come about because I ate a cheese platter that was being saved for Xmas.

buy her a cheese platter then. Problem solved.
