I always buy a new outfit for Christmas and have done so this time as well. As some of you know I throw a party specially for the needy but this time it will be for friends, neighbours, and family on Decemkber 21

What are your plans for Xmas? Any Christmas budget?

I don't think i would be going for Christmas shopping though, if there is anything i would want to buy, it should be something to eat and that's it.

That's more reasonable thinking.

Depends on how one plans to spend Christmas. Attending events calls for a new outfit

As for me, I usually plan my Christmas a little early so I don't worry about last-minute things. This time, I've decided to allocate a small budget for gifts and food because I just want to enjoy quality time with family and friends without any pressure. I also plan to buy new clothes so I can feel confident at the party. The food will be simple and delicious, with some refreshing drinks. I've also saved up some money to buy simple decorations for the house to create a festive atmosphere. In short, I want a happy Christmas filled with beautiful memories without spending a lot of money.

I have already bought Christmas presents. I usually buy presents only for children, that is our family deal, but I also buy something for my husband, as it is his birthday, I don't intend to buy clothes or anything else for me. In January, we will have sales, and by then, I think I will buy new boots.

Wow, lovely to hear you throw a party for the needy... be blessed My husband and I usually buy the security guards where we live a nice Christmas meal. We used to give them a little spending money as well but times have been so hard in recent years, we only give them food.

We usually celebrate Christmas with family but this year, I'm just not in the mood since losing dad at the end of June. So my husband and I will be on our own. We won't be doing anything much except for maybe a traditional British Christmas dinner and lots of tv watching.

One cannot celebrate when there is a death in the family and in your case it is your Dad you have lost. RIP

I get more joy in giving than receiving

Its refreshing to hear that you mind the welfare of those beneath your social status.
Keep it up!

Merry Christmas

Online shopping could have huge discounts.

I buy what I like and not because there are discounts

Most people buy because of discounts.

The biggest slice in my Christmas budget is the carolers - an average of 100 kids come to our gate every night from December 16 to 24 to sing carols. In total for 9 days I spend nearly $1,000 for that.

A significant amount of money

[bestwriter]

That is a big amount you need to spend for those 100 carolers but worth it all the same. What is view that must be and a beautiful sound too

Buying because of discounts often will not get the buyer the best quality

[Netherrealmer]

After Christmas, some of the popular Christmas foods, like, you know, Christmas ham, are cheaper.

Online shopping could have huge discounts.

I know... most retailers reward shoppers with amazing online promotions that aren't available on the high street. Oh, how I miss those days when I could order online from practically anywhere in the world **sigh**

This year I did not have to buy gifts as there were no kids as has been the case with all parties I organised in the past
