I absolutely stick to a budget.  Can't let the holidays break your life plans.

I don't have a budget, but I do measure myself on what I can spend.

No budget for Christmas. It's just a good idea if you don't spend a lot.

No budget but try to watch what I spend.  Used a lot of coupons and signed up for many more stores on line to get the discounts and free shipping

I basically went over board during black friday but I did save some amount of money just in case during the winter sale getting closer.

I also definitely budget for holiday gifts but splurge on cards. I pretty much stick to the budget for all my relatives except for my new baby granddaughter who I buy clothes and toys for all the time anyways.

I had a budget and was doing pretty good until I found out I was getting a grandson in April.  So, of course, he has to have stuff to fill the 4 1/2 foot stocking that I bought for him.
Have a wonderful day!

This was the first year for me in a long time that I had no budget for Christmas...  I hadn't planned for it, it sort of snuck up on me.  Will definitely have a budget for it in place next year.  I just bought what everyone needed most and "threw caution to the wind".  It will be alright, it just "feels strange" because that's not the "norm" for me.

I need to have one, but I don't.  I start shopping for Christmas in September and just pick up things along the way for grand kids etc.

     I buy my Christmas gifts the day after Christmas when prices are discounted. On December 26th, most Christmas gifts sell for half-price.
