How much on Holiday presents?

  Because our parents go overboard on the kids, we don't buy them Christmas gifts until AFTER Christmas.  We don't put up a tree or anything, either, because we travel back home for 3 weeks at Christmas.  We end up spending around $500-600 on our families at Christmas between siblings, parents, grandparents, nieces, and nephews.

  I feel kind of cheap now, but we spent about $50 on DD. She doesn't need anything and she will get stuff from grandparents, aunts and uncles. We try to keep it around $20 for everybody else. We have a lot of people to buy for so we can't go crazy. It's actually fun to try to find something the person will really appreciate thats in our budget.

  We'll probably spend around $200 including stocking stuffers.

  We are close to just under $200 for each girl. DD1 might be higher as we try to figure out what American Girl Doll item we get. We may splurge and get a higher end item or it will be just a clothing item.

  We spent about $50 last year on Albert.  I'll probably buy him an outfit and a couple of books.  Dh and I plan on redoing a rocking horse that was mine when I was little and Dh's wagon when he was a boy.  We'll do a stocking for him as well.  We might spend $50 - $75 on him this year, total.

  Less than $50 total on both kids. Around $100 more for DH, 2 nieces and nephew.
