What's the most expensive present (cost) you plan to buy this year?

Christmas is just around the corner and it's time to start worrying about buying presents for people..just wondering if I'm being cheap or not.....

1. Wife and I decided we have a house full of stuff we don't need anymore

so we're making contributions to animal shelters and family cemeteries instead. We might break down and get something for the grandkids and especially for the great grandkid but everyone else will have to do without from us. And we've told everybody please make a contribution in our name instead of a gift to us.

2. Good deal..we still have a 12 year old in the house

so we'll be buying some presents

3. I'm Not Buying Any Gifts This Year

With all the poor, hungry, and homeless people in the country, I am NOT buying any gifts this year.

I am going to give money to the poor.

It's really the only thing to do this year.

5. Hey I've been to Battleground, Washington

Many years ago I was on the beginning of what would become a national singing tour and we sang at Charter Oak Evangelical Free Church, it was June of 1973

8. You probably wouldn't recognize it now.

Hell, we moved here in '93 and barely recognize it. We live in the hills east of town.

6. We bought our daughter an early present.

Its an iphone and we are picking up the cost on a family plan. She is in college and can't afford a reliable phone and service. Its a present that works for everyone. :)

7. Our extended family draws names. Everybody buys ONE gift in the $20.00 range.

And we all have wish lists on Amazon, so shopping is fast and easy for all of us at Christmas. One click; all done.

9. We bought some Alaskan artwork for the MIL and SIL

already shipped... less than 25 bucks each

Yes, I am done with my shopping, oh wait, another thirty bucks for people who work for us and 20 for my mailman

Yes, we usually do all our Christmassy stuff for 100 or less and that includes shipping

10. Buying my gifts from local folks who make things

feel that it is a way to encourage them in their endeavors and also provide gifts my family need.
