Roughly how much have you spent on other people's pasko presents?

$5

WHAAAT? Most of the world is in recession, though that may or may not our cheer and giving. So~ do we compete here to see who has spent madami and loves people madami or buys for madami people which can cost madami or to see who is wiser with money and does better making it stretch: Frugality vs. Greed.

As an adult, and from a rather prosperious upbringing- I would not be comfortable discussing this no matter how much I spent giving... or how little I had to speak in my personal monetary means in gifts. (And pasko to me is about more-giving in other ways, too).

I think this tanong is in poor taste.

This taon not so much:
1. I don't have that much $.
2. I buy for the kids not many adults. Fewer kids this year.
3. I buy gifts for those who are local - postage these days cost madami than the gift.
