Lunchbox:
Yeah my mum and grandparents and brother are all either on the pension or Centrelink and they still spent hundreds on gifts for everyone, most of which were lovely. I have a pretty good job and I spent under $100 on each of their (relatively thoughtful, I thought) gifts. CHRISTMAS GUILT

I spent barely anything on gifts but for the first time ever I think I got things that most people actually liked (although my stepdad does seem to be in chronic uncertainty as to what I actually gave him... it was a collection of board games, which he said he would "watch later"). Basically I think focussing on cost is silly because you can spend thousands on something and it could still be really bad, whereas you could get a really good bargain on something awesome and that would be far more exciting.

Blue Kitty:
My girlfriend spent over $150 on me for the tickets and the jersey.  I told her we are going to have to set a limit for her next year.

i'm paying for school right now using sort of a mishmash combination of savings + my job + a massive line of credit and in order to apply for my line of credit i needed a cosigner so i asked my mom to do it. i didn't know until today that this means she now has the exact same access to my line of credit as i do (aaaahhhh) and found out a few days ago that she paid off a pretty substantial chunk of it as a christmas gift to me. it's made me pretty uneasy because my parents are, for lack of a better word, INCREDIBLY stupid with money whereas i am actually pretty okay financially right now and before i moved we had a lot of really massive fights about finances and how i didn't want to be dependent on them anymore whereas they were really pushy and insistent on it and basically it was one of the main reasons i didn't talk to them at all for almost five months. i didn't get anyone anything for christmas and now i have all this money i don't even want and it really sucks. i guess i will just put it into savings or something. i really hope this is just a one time thing. goddamn it parents
