    How many units will you spend on Christmas gifts?

    How many here will spend more on holidays then you put at risk last Sunday?? Real dollars and units ok here. Informal poll to see what people do here.

    Ill spend about 10 units all in. That's only because I got twins on the way and need to buy a bunch of stuff for nursery. What do you spend on holiday and how does that compare to a normal day of gambling??

    MmaChick's surprise trip to Buenos Aires Argentina will set me back about 100 units.

    She's worth it though.

    Holy Sheeite.

    I spend 40x more than I gamble.

    If you have kids, there just isn't a better time of the year than Christmas.

    We spend way too much. Every year. And that's even with the fact that my wife and I don't even exchange gifts.

    I love buying presents for my daughter, but we really try not to do too much. With her being an only child, it can get downright ridiculous with the amount of crap she gets for Christmas. Especially with all that her grandmother buys.

    But it's Christmas...and she's a little kid. So I inevitably say fukk it, and buy her too much anyway.

    I think those with kids definitely seem to splurge more. I would say 80% of my spend goes to nieces/nephews, 15% to parents and a couple of small gifts for sister/bro in law.

    Excited to have kids - so much more fun to buy for - wife wants me to take up golf so she can have more options for gifts for me - I have every Bear and Gator item she can find so needs more ideas. She is impossible to shop for as well so we can just spend it on kids and both be happy

    As little as possible, only problem is people who buy gifts for me then I have to get them something. It's like you just keep your money, and I'll keep mine, why won't that work? Merry Christmas.

    Not playing too much hockey yet. If I play I will do a unit on these 3. Should be up on night but Fridays have historically ****** me:

    hawks -1.5 +162
    hawks over 5.5 -110
    Florida +135

    hawks with fresh legs and Vancouver lost last night in Dallas. Florida just playing better hockey right now than
    Winnipeg.

    Anyone spending an arbitrary figure relative to what I personally think is too much - is a jerkoff.

    Xmas is for kids

    If you buy gifts for adults it's idiotic .

    If your content in life Xmas does not mean much and your not looking for anything.
