True, you don't eat anything else special, apart from leg of lamb, duck, goose etc.


Then finally make something sensible like potato salad and sausages!

😂I'll probably have a whole Kobe beef or something.

It's going to be expensive for us again, because I won't have 300 for everything and I'm already doing 1-2 errands

I have chosen the first answer.
Saving money is always the be-all and end-all for us, and Christmas is no exception.
However, I prefer to be creative and give homemade, personal and individual gifts.

VIP concert ticket plus flight and hotel for my missus. (and me) 3k will probably change hands. So strictly speaking, 1.5K is a gift.
then some financial support for the 2 kids who want to "stand on their own two feet" when their fridge isn't empty or laundry needs to be done...

... and all this from my "no-gambling 2023" Pot

So you're not spending Christmas in the Philippines? Is it even celebrated there?

Christmas is big here. It's "supposedly" the most "Catholic" country in the world.
The tickets, flight tickets and hotel vouchers are for Christmas, the concert is at the beginning of March in Singapore. Until then, the money saved will go towards a Gordon Ramsay Steak Wellington and a trip to Wolgang Puck's Cut Retaurant...

My original plan with the money was to go to Til Lindemann's birthday party and concert on New Year's Eve in Cancun, Mexico, but I would have gone there alone, so in a weak hour I decided that would be a bit selfish...

At least it's honestly saved money... My daughter's kidney had to pay for my trip to 2x Rammstein and 4x Maiden in Europe this year on the black market... hehehe

We don't give each other anything within the family any more. I do enough nice things and vacations etc. with my wife throughout the year. We decorate the apartment and have a nice meal over the holidays with the whole family and that's that.

The "kids" get something, of course, but it's all within reason

alao at today's prices I spend far more than 1500€ for reasonable or worthwhile presents for my 4 children...
of course my parents also get something..
But siblings and wife would then be too expensive and usually the siblings have almost everything ^^

We don't give each other anything expensive among the adults, but we still get a lot together. Of course, our parents and siblings already have everything, but usually no recent photos of the kids, for example, so there are photo calendars and the like, plus something the children have made, this year Christmas tree ornaments that they have potted and painted themselves. I also make eggnog and baked apple liqueur and everyone gets home-baked treats. In a large family, that's no longer a bargain by then. And then there are presents for the kids and I'm sure I'll think of something nice for my husband too. I reckon I can easily manage €500. 🙈

We usually only give presents to the children. Larger gifts between adults (siblings, parents) are really just a shift in monetary values for me. There's also the Risk of making the wrong choice. We decided together a few years ago not to give each other anything bigger.
The most important thing about Christmas is actually getting together in peace and having time for each other. Maybe a few little things to make each other happy. For example, homemade spice mixes, jams, mustard, oils, etc.

Christmas just means stress and I'll be glad when the nonsense about giving presents, Christmas at all, etc. is over. I think you should only give presents to children or do it for them. Personally, I can't do anything with Christmas. I spent several years in a youth home when I was a teenager and it lost its meaning for me, presents were given at lunchtime and it was pretty loveless. As a child, Christmas was always something great and exciting, as an adult, well, you just do it for sparkling little children's eyes. There are some in the family for whom it's important and for others it's not. I think it's bad that you're always nagged to show up, etc. if you don't like it
