Parents..as the (madness Season approaches)

Kunjufu · (#1 (**permalink**))

Ok Honestly now Africans what do you serious expect to spend this Xmas (madness Season) approx...

By that I mean food, travel and presents...all told what do you expect to spend on this once year madness..

and for parents with children..what is the most you intend to spend on a single present?

What is too much to spend?

What is too little to spend?

Is giving just money, in-personal and lazy?

With so many nieces, nephews & friend's kids to buy for it's going to be expensive!

I've managed to pick up a few bargains - the main being Bratz dolls at £1.99 each! Unfortunately I have more boys than girls to buy for.

This will be Baby's first Xmas, and I've already bought a treehouse thingy for him, but I know he'll be spoilt rotten. Plus it's his birthday on 16th January, so I'm sure I'll pick up a few bargains in the sales. No 1 son will be getting another xbox....not a 360 'cos he'll only mash it up like the last one!

No-one else is getting anything this year. With 30+ kids to buy for I don't think we'll be able to eat!

My son wants a lap top this year! As they get old things seem to cost more and the amount of gifts get smaller when he was a toddler he always seemed to have loads to open. I tried to remember what I had been given for Christmas last year and couldn't so I wonder why I buy into the madness. The bits I remember is the food and the company. I'm thinking of telling everyone not to bother with xmas presseys for me this year.
