My Christmas budget has been blown out of the water.  Found out I was getting a new grandson (1st grandchild), then the hubby decided he wanted hearing aids for Christmas, then after I had bought my daughter's presents, the son-in-law asked if I would go in 1/2 with him on a new iPad Pro for her.  Guess I'll have to dip into my Hawaiian vacation fund to cover Christmas....
Have a wonderful day!

Honestly my credit cards are just about maxed so I just used my debit card for shopping really. Nothing to pay back. Need to work on getting the cards paid off though and save for next Christmas

I don't have a Christmas budget because I wouldn't stick to it. What I do is buy things for close people and I buy things that I know they want because I don't want to waste time and money picking out gifts for people who don't want it.

I try to keep a budget. I make out a small list of people who I need to give gifts for then roughly have any idea how much to spend on each person.

I get a certain amount of money from my husband to shop for Christmas. I have been getting this same amount for quite a few years. With the cost of items rising I could ask for more however I chose to just shop sales and don't buy as expensive gifts as I use to.
