Before I write anything else I wanted to wish a…
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND SEASONS GREETINGS TO EVERYONE!
Now I realize that it would make no sense to write a full post on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve since everyone is busy getting together with family and all of that fun stuff. Instead I want to ask you guys a question in hopes of receiving a quick and brief response.
How much money did you spend this Christmas?
I personally do not want to share exact figures because I went all out this year.
I gave one of my brothers a laptop for free. Well to be honest I received this laptop for free from the giveaway that I held this past summer. The company was kind enough to send me a netbook and a laptop, and I was kind enough to give one to my brother who was moving away for college.
I purchased a golf set for my other brother. We started playing golf together in the summer. I drove by a sporting store in my area that was having a liquidation sale and they had two golf sets left. After haggling for a bit I was offered a decent discount on both golf sets. Now I have to figure out a way to stop losing to someone nine years younger than me.
I got my parents a weekend getaway to the Bahamas. Yep I really went all out this year.
You can play “Price is Right” and a guess how much money was spent.
Once again I ask you guys- how much money did you spend on Christmas shopping this year?
Take care and all the best!

Way too freaking much.
I was going cheap this Christmas, but my son’s gift came up really expensive. Then, I had to spend the same amount for my wife and daughter. After that, I spent a bunch for some nieces and nephews that had a rough year and an extra gift some someone who had nothing in the family exchange.
In the end, I was bummed that I overspent, yet again. But, I had a terrific year financially and am thankful I can absorb this expensive Christmas, without too much pain.
Merry Christmas
