Christmas spending - splurge or spend less?

Do you plan to spend a lot this coming holiday season or do you plan to spend less and prioritize other financial concerns going into the new year?

no.. due to budget constraints

it depends.. but with the things that are happening now, i'm having a hard time saving for christmas..

[beyee]

it has always been my promise that everytime I receive my Christmas bonus/13th month pay, I'll splurge it on gifts for my family, no matter how much the cost coz I feel happy when I get to be "galante" with them kay love gud nako sila.. then a portion of my salary, igo jud na for savings.

It would not hurt to be very conservative about finances during Xmas.

You can save a lot of money by buying lesser (and reasonably priced) gifts, and then giving them to your family, a few dear relatives and the closest of your friends.

You can save a lot by having small dinner celebrations instead of having a big party. Just how much did caterers or food sellers charge you last December?

Think about it. With the money you save from cost-cutting this Xmas, you can handle your priorities better.
