OK Ohio Chatter...how much money are you willing to spend for the holidays? After all, the economic well-being of our nation and Obama's re-election depend upon it, right? ;)

Also, are you a cash-only spender, credit-only, or a combination?

200-400 but I'm only 21.

I have a system. I assume im gonna get around that in gifts from others, so I just spend that in hopes that ill make that back in gift cards and cash. Normally I end the holiday seasons up about 25-30$

Christmas has never been a big deal in my family (not religious). I'll spend less than $100 this season.

With a total of 10 people in our Family and 4 grandkids ($1000) and three daughters ($1000) two son-in-laws (600) one wife (1500) = my way of spreading the wealth did I mention $1000 for Children World Christmas, $500 Church Family Tree and no less that $1.00 in every Salvation Army bucket I pass, my personal giving surprise I buy strangers their meal at restaurants. (Mostly older couple or young families) I love to see their reaction I tell the waiter not to tell who did it just a gift ... </SPAN>
