I spend big bro. Mostly cuz I got a wife and kids. Lol! Got'em the ps5. That alone was crazy. I guess I just spend what's available.

I don't spend much on gifts. Moved around a lot last year. Finally found a permanent place this year so I've been trying to get some semblance of normalcy. Bought some furniture (bookcase, computer case, bed, dresser). Still not quite done yet. Would still like a couch for the office, something low key but cool. Wouldn't mind another shelf too for all my games. I might spend some money on games. I haven't decided yet. I don't celebrate Christmas too much as I've spent most of my 20s working in retail and pretty much ruined any sort of love I had for the holidays except Halloween. Still my favorite.

I deeeeefinitely fall into that category of people who spend ALOT around xmas and leading up to it and end up doing the sad dance of the lost wallet by the time New years is over
I am the chief prezzles squirel for my mom dad and brother and I usually help with the final nightmare supermarket run every year @_@ so by the time all teh unwrapping and eating is done

Personally I start to set money aside in the latter half of the year because I have many family birthdays all around the same time near christmas so it becomes quite a taxing time for me.
I try to do very little activities in November and use that cash to supplement me through december.
Alcohol and food is a big part of culture where I am from and the celebrations around christmas so of course it is natural I spend much more than normal

I have 2 more presents left to buy.
One for family and one for friends.
On average I spend a total of $400 every year on gifts for direct family and closest friends
