How much do you spend on your kids for Christmas?
Do you have a limit per kid? By age? Or is it just a free for all?
This year my daughter's limit is $150 (she's over 18 and has a baby so..). My 4-year-old son will probably get close to the same amount spent on him (hopefully his dad won't go crazy) but it's rough on us this year. We usually do a little more. I will probably get my grandson something under $100 but not much. SO is getting a mini-laptop DVD player and that's it.
DD is 13 months and I spent $40. I know, that isn't much but that is what I could do this year. Maybe next year it will be more, depends on how much I have to spend.

If it were up to me I would spend 500 each. But my dd is getting coal this year, so my budget for her will be pretty small.
I am a motherless mother, who has a 3 year old princess and a two year old devil, who has been touched by suicide and breast cancer, who got married at 19 and is still married to the same man 11 years later, who is a Certified Texas Teacher but stays at home now, who has Anklosing Spondylitis which is an autoimmune disease, who is a non-church going Christian, that knows it is important to live in the now, because tomorrow is not guaranteed. Oh, and for some reason I collect giraffes!
Wow, $500 per kid??? That seems like a lot to me but I guess as Caitlin gets older 4 toys will be that much more? My mom only spends $200 per "family" (us three girls + husbands + kids) and I remember as kids thinking we got alot!!!
