XMAS thread.
I put up my tree tonight. Fake of course, but with the cool fibre-optic lights built right in.
I feel so feminine. I love you guys. Damn! The Crown Royal is starting to talk.
How much is everyone spending on their significant other? I'm spending about $1000.
What are you buying?
What are you getting?

I got the tree from Sears for $149 on sale. Better hurry though, they only had a few left. $1000 may seem like alot, but she is the only person I really have to buy for. Besides, she spent alot more then that on me already and half of those gifts are still mine.

lol... last year we put up our tree like the day of 
why? cuz I'm lazy, my brother is lazy, and my parents can't be bothered... maybe we'll do it earlier this year... we've been using the same tree for like 15 years now
I still remember when it was taller than me
as for the significant other... hehe it's a secret.... I made it a goal not to do gift exchange with friends this year.. so that should "save" some money...

I paid for a plane ticket from Tokyo to Toronto. That cost me over $1,000 (closer to $1,200). I think that's it for my present...

This year, a nice fine dinning for the two of us. That's about it.
When you are saving money for a wedding, you tend to not spend money on other things.

Our tree will be going up soon, with a 6 year old running around he wants it up as soon as Halloween is over.
As for gifts, I don't know yet but the wife and I always look after each other nicely, but the bulk of the money is spent on the boy.
Plus we just got back from the Dominican again and we are going back to Disney in Feb.
