I cut back drastically last year, so I will be doing the same amount again this year.

We'll be spending a little more than half of last year's budget. (So less than last year.) We normally just spend what we have--we don't go into debt for Christmas.

Much less. My husband is in sales and business isn't good...lol

His boss is cutting back so he is just thankful for a job.

Me and my wife only get the kids a few things that away they don't expect to much at Christmas and we always pay cash so no debt also...

We're cutting WAY back this year. For our boys, that's really fine. In fact, it's time that we do. They've gotten older and it's getting closer to the phase of life where they will be branching out on their own (not Keith, just Justin). When they start a family of their own, I really do not expect to keep up with the kinds of Christmas's they had when they were 4 & 8.

Besides that, I am having surgery on the 17th of December. So I won't be doing a whole lot on Christmas Day anyway. And until then, about one store a day is all I can manage. So we'll make do and be just fine :)
