I took the question as to spending more for gifts to others---not yourself
Can I change my vote ?
I'm in the Xmas spirit and celebrating for the 1st time in 25 years, for reasons I'd prefer not to get into. I've spent a total of $140 for 2 gifts. Last of the big spenders.

Awe...thats sad, nobody at all, not the person who cuts your hair or how about delivers your mail, newspapers.
Well at least tip your next escort $10-$20 for X-mas if you see one by then
My point is that there is no such thing as the Christmas Spirit.S.C. Joe said:Awe...thats sad, nobody at all, not the person who cuts your hair or how about delivers your mail, newspapers.

The Christmas Spirit is ... materialism!
Now, if I actually give a shit about you, I will visit you in the hospital when sick, give you a ride if necessary, show up at your wedding, etc. Or we could work out a favor system: you owe me one, I owe you one, and so on.
And I have no problem with materialism either. Everyone likes buying nice stuff.
But this stuff happens year-round, usually without decorations, and not just in December.
To dress it up as the Christmas Spirit, implying that there is something more to it than simple materialism, is hogwash ... and people worldwide eat this shit up like it's real.
Q: Why? Economy? Salary? Weather? Hot chicks?
A: Higher Airfare costs and hot chicks.

True, too commericalized.
Thus spend only on those I care about...plenty of toys with pre-Xmas sale or boxing week bargain for moi.
