[QUOTE="2000gt4.6, post: 15489014, member: 123767"] The other thread (which is probably about to result in me being flamed lol) got me thinking about this topic. I remember several years ago this also coming up at work. One of my co-workers, who made the exact same money I did at the time (24~ dollars/hour) spent at minimum 1500/kid (3 kids I think) at Christmas. This contrasts to my parents, making between 150 and 250k thru most of my childhood (in rural Illinois that's dammed good money, especially for the 90s) spending no more than 100-150 on each child (4 kids in house). I never felt, and even thinking back on it don't, that we were being shortchanged. I remember Christmas as a great time with family and still fondly remember some of my "cheap" presents. A remote controlled (via cable ) front end loaded that puffed fake smoke in particular brings back all kinds of memories. So, how much do you drop on the kids? Am I way off thinking it's nuts to spend 1000-1500 on a kid? [/QUOTE]
