Xmas Holiday Crunch

In the spirit of Christmas I thought I'd write a post on that. What I want to know is what are people planning for this Christmas. What are you going to spend your money on? Who will it be spent on? Are you cutting back or are you going to spend about the same amount of money as past years? Are you going to have Christmas parties? Are you still going to ask family and friends for gifts? What are you asking for? Are they geared more to what you NEED than what you want? You catch my drift.

We are all aware that tough economic times are upon us and it is effecting literally everyone. I know I was going to ask for 2 things but now I'm just not going to ask anyone for anything because I know I wont be spending anything on anyone so I shouldn't expect anything from anyone either. I'll be turning my kitchen into a mini bakery and will be giving people cookies and pies. I will probably also make my own Christmas cards.

New Years wont be much better. In past years I have celebrated with a group of friends in SF where we each pitch in $150 for hotel and then buy tickets to a sweet party... This year I will be at home while my friends are celebrating in Vegas. They are trying to guilt trip me into going but they don't understand that I have no money for it and I'm not about to go beg my dad to help me go party in Vegas on New Years... That's ridiculous. So how will you spend your New Years?
