[{dC!}]

It sucks so bad ...

I have to like budget my money throughout the year and then when it comes Christmas time its so hard to make sure that I have enough to buy stuff etc :(

It's the season of giving, the thought means more than anything else! Party you shall!!!!!!!!

actually this is my lucky year. and also my first yea that i have money during december. previously in my life i have barley had jobs so im usually broke or if im lucky have like a bill around xmas. But xmas isn't all about the gifts and cash. Even without it i am just as happy with all the holiday spirit and stuff. Early Merry Xmas to all.

This is my first xmas as a single lady in years! That will free up 2-3 hundred dollars I'm used to spending on my sig. other

I think I plan on using it to spoil my mum...it's nice to start making more money and be able to spoil your parents I think.

But remember folks, at the end of the day, we all know it is the thought that counts!

xmas is about spending time with the ppl you love.

I agree whole heartedly, but I also LIKE to buy stuff for my family and friends.

I'm making stuff for people this year. It'll be fun. :)

gifts should be given i think because they are symbol's and tokens of your appriciatation, now this somewhat is related to what custard said because i dont have tones of money or nothing but i did have enough to get most of the things and sorta stuff all the people i know like..... but giving doesn't always mean giving money or 200$ DVD player, it is giving what you have...
1. if u have time go to a soup kitchen i did that last year at 17 and worked for 4 hours on top of school / my other job.......
2. i had a bit extra money so i bough a nice hat and gave it to a family board that is at my mom's hostpital because one kid all he wanted was a new hat and i got him the best most expensive DC pro fit black hat there is.....

i mean now some cost money some dont but if u dont have money think of yourself in the holiday season first people, i have seen my sister as well as probably countless other people rack their credit card well over limits and are in debt till summer time then the cycle starts all over again next year..... GIVE WHAT U CAN!!!!!!! make sure u are able to live, and then if all u can afford is to go home and bring a 10$ bottle of wine then fuck bring that bottle of wine with a bow on it....... or if u live at home and u cannot afford much think back to when u were a kid and make your family breakfast in bed, and have the car all washed.. do it all midnight the day before wash the car and detail it and cook breakfast......... costs u nothing but some time and they will love it....

everyone is so high strung around this time of year..... u wana know what i asked for was a diggi camera that is all something for pics and this doubles as something i need for school...........

once again people enjoy the holidays, and make sure u enjoy it, then worry about other people's enjoyment, and presents.

I read a book called "Don't worry make money"

I had to put it down when I read, quote:
"The more you spend the more you will receive" the principle is based on people gaining wealth and re-investing thier money back into society so ultimately you will be on the receiving end - yeh only if you are in business or working alot. I hope this author has no money after that statement.

I laughed my ass off when a bum came up to me on Water Street in a santa hat and said "MERRY GREEDMAS!!!!!!"

All my money is for me this year - it's financially advantageous not to have a girl for christmas - but kind o embarrassing and yes ladies, lonely too! but i aint looking for a sympathy date (actually........maybe that would be good , pm me for a christmas sympathy date!)

[mapleleaf4ever]

I'll have enough to give presents to my immediate Family and Secret Santa... in other words, just enough to please the fam and put some 151 in the Belly. :)

Heh. I gave up on christmas a long time ago. I get friends gifts all through the year. easier to get them something when i see something they'll like. fuck this once a year gift time.

[ebbomega]

I agree with Amber.

Though I find Winter, specifically early Winter, to be among the better times to exchange gifts and ideas.

[Custard]

i have a friend who is going to a ubrew this year. its cheap, and who doesn't like alcohol as a gift?
