    Haven't spent much at all yet. I've only bought some baking supplies. Will be packing up cookies to send to out of town older relatives tomorrow. Postage will be more than the expense of baking, I suspect.

              I spent about $200 and it covered gifts for all of my list, stocking stuffers, and postage for my cards (I bought the cards at 75% off last January). And a box of candy canes. I need my candy canes.

                        Spent about 600$ so far. Final figure should be around 650$-700$. Had initially budgeted (more like "hoped") around 500-600$, but found some nice stuff (slaps hand). Considering that I had spent over 1 000$ the last few years, I am ok with it.

                          We've spent $30.84. That was to buy one gift each for my 3-year-old niece and 5-year-old nephew. That's it for Xmas presents this year, except maybe a nice bone for the dog ($5 approx).

                          We need to buy food for our Christmas dinner ($30 approx), and we're thinking of going to the movies on Christmas Day ($13.50), but not much else.

                          So, altogether we'll probably spent about $80.

                            About $170. I budgeted $200 and I only have one more gift to buy, and wrapping paper.

                              we're about halfway done and we've spent less than $100 so we're hoping to keep it around 150...
