[ZCx]

and that is a way less vote

pretty much down to a verbal Merry Christmas & a hand shake

 

[BurntRubber]

overall, were spending more

 

[wesalbert]

Judging by what I spent on the wifes birthday last night, im gonna say more.

 

[unionmanofsteel]

This year I have spend more due to I have worked most of the year where others have not and have tried to make sure they have more than they could afford themselves

 

[FastSRT19]

More, but work has been very busy...lots of overtime. Plus my girl just finished up college so it's a double hit...

 

[Begood]

Not spending at all.

Me either... Dawn went home to take care of her post operative Sister...I am "home alone" for the Holiday...just another day for me....I got bigger things to worry about right now anyhow...2010 just might be the last nail in the coffin for us so to speak....it's been a hell of a run though...on paper we should not have lasted this long.

 

[viperhauler]

well...it all depends on what happens tomorrow...fingers crossed on a huge contract....take me through mar. 2010 if that's the case...i'll be last minute splurging...

if not...i'm at about $50 a pop for everybody...well...except alisha... i heard she spent some loot she's been hiding...but nobody will tell

I only got the stuff on my little one's letter to Santa that I intercepted. Other than that I'm reeeeal lean on the spending this year. Thanks to her mother I'm out about $30k so far between the court drama BS she started earlier this year because of greed and having to remain home in the US for 5 months because of it. But the bright side is (to her surprise) I gained custody of my daughter as a result; and for me that's my gift. I'll catch up easily with funds next year.

 

[JRSVIPR]

Got the grand kids a little something, And that's about it.

 

[bclark05]

More on the better half. About the same on the kids, plus we have a new one this year, 4 months old(all the baby stuff)nothing like when I was little, high tech now for the little ones. And the the old lady says she will get my hood after taxes come in:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

Don't do this to us. What's going on Ken?

 

[OCBob]

Way less. Used to spend more on dinner than we're spending on Christmas this year.

 

[SrtBrad]

Wayyyyyyyyyyy less. The wife and I are not buying for each other or family members. We are only getting the kids (2) a few good things.

 

[TheSickness]

Being I'm making 40% less and on disabilty....I ain't buying anyone shit. Hell it was screwed when I made 100% lmao....

 

[Black1]

Not spending at all.

Bill.

Me neither... If it weren't for the folks, we'd be having ramen noodles for Christmas dinner. It's been a very humbling, and stressful decade. I am still thankful I've found a wife that loves me, and a family that helps us. It keeps me up at night thinking how much I've put her through tho. I don't know why she's stayed.... but, I thank God she has...

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Making a lasagna for Christmas dinner this year. My Mom's best friend gave us a $50 gift card for Winco to pay for the dinner, that was really cool of her.

 

[THEWELSHM]

Im not sure if recovery is on the way back, but given what I am seeing in FL its possible:dontknow: That being the case I hope it spreads like H1N1
