Roughly how much have you spent on other people's Christmas presents?

$5

WHAAAT? Most of the world is in recession, though that may or may not limit our cheer and giving. So~ do we compete here to see who has spent more and loves people more or buys for more people which can cost more or to see who is wiser with money and does better making it stretch: Frugality vs. Greed.

As an adult, and from a rather prosperious upbringing- I would not be comfortable discussing this no matter how much I spent giving... or how little I had to speak in my personal monetary means in gifts. (And Christmas to me is about more-giving in other ways, too).

I think this question is in poor taste.

This year not so much:
1. I don't have that much $.
2. I buy for the kids not many adults. Fewer kids this year.
3. I buy gifts for those who are local - postage these days cost more than the gift.
