Holiday Budgets

We never actually budget anything, just depends on how much money we have at the time. Nieces and nephew are always first, then Trev and I. After that JoAnn then whatever else pops up (secret santa at work, angel trees, etc.) I actually got JoAnn done first this year. =)

With only one income I have to be very frugal this year. Each of my kids will get a monetary gift. My grandchildren are only getting one or two gifts each. I usually don't put a dollar amount on what the grandchildren get, but I don't go overboard either.

i dont have a holiday budget... whatever comes, that i use. =)

I don't have many to buy for so normally don't budget but I don't go overboard either.

If I could everything for free, that would work out really well!

never a budget, I just buy what I can when I can...little bit at a time

We use what I make online for gifts and other fun things throughout the year. I also really watch sales all year long and buy when things are cheap. I should still have 2 checks and several giftcards coming in before Christmas, but even if I don't, my family will still have a nice Christmas. We're done shopping for everyone besides immediate family, and even for us, we've got plenty. With the Wii games we picked up tonight (2 for each of us), we have a good amount already. We're just watching and waiting and mostly just picking up things like clothing and movies from here on out probably. Elliott's birthday is 5 weeks after Christmas and we've pretty much moved on to it for the big sales in November and December on toys and age appropriate books.

I don't have a budget, but I am getting closer to the end of my list:)

I don't really make a budget, but I look for things that are less expensive. Also, I'm buying just one thing for a person (maybe two) instead of three or four or five things.
