The news on the day after Thanksgiving usually focuses on how many people are spending for Christmas, and how much.

Are you going to spend less this Christmas than in previous years? More ?
The same?


Me: Im spending next to nothing this year. Just gonna do cards for the relatives and Im thinking of getting a savings bond for my best friends baby.

Last year I spent 150$ in a present for my girlfriend.

This year I'm single..

Amount spent on Christmas last year: $0
Amount spent on Christmas this year: $0

Any questions?

Yes, scrooge. Is that the net gain or are you not considering the received presents. If you do that, you'll have negative spending, which is much more nice.

Unless you don't receive any as well, and then I apologize..

edit: stupid smiley, I put the wrong one

I wish I didn't recieve any. It would avoid the whole business of people continually bugging me to tell them what I want for Christmas. It would also avoid the whole business of having to fake gratitude so that my mom doesn't yell at me. Why can't they understand that I just don't want anything for Christmas (at least, not that I have a snowball's chance in hell of actually getting, although a space shuttle might be pretty nice. )

I don't think that it's possible for me to spend less.....

I have a hard time getting the point across to people that I really dont want something that I can put on a shelf or stick in a drawer. Id really appreciate a dinner or book certificate.

Amount spent on Christmas last year: $200
Amount spent on Christmas this year: 22/7 Dollers

Any questions?

Ask for money. It works with me.

Or, also nice: a future present. You'll find something you want, eventually. That's how I got, humm, a new shiny laptop, my bike, etc.

Less. Last year I had a girl to buy Han.... Cha... that Jewish thing gifts for. This year, no.

Less. I'm hording cash for my custom comp. I've never bought many presents unless their for me. Maybe my grandparents, brother, or Mom occasionaly. Or buy a video game. Not this year.

Probably spend lesss. Before I was at least semi-employed, I'm not now.

I spent about 120 last year and will spend maybe 150 this year.

Spent next to nothing last year, hoping to spend nothing this year.

I'd like to receive a live Asuka/Rei/Other anime chick, wrapped up in some naughty lingerie.

But that will happen when Wong becomes Christian.

More to the point:

Money spent in Christmas last year: $45 (feeding myself)
Money spent in Christmas this year: $nada (being fed by military)

$0 so far, but that's because I have no money. Both my cards are nearly maxed out and I have peanuts in my bank account, and won't get any money until mid-December.

I would like to receive some anime box-sets, though...and a set of good computer speakers...perhaps a new processor...a Gamecube...

*writes list to Santa*

Amount I'll spend...too much

What I'll get...random at best(usually my friends understand my tastes)

Amount I spent last year...waaaaaaay too much.
