The holidays are a hard time for many people. We want to buy presents, but spending money often means taking out loans, whether by a credit card or some other method.
My fiance and I are sending cards to most people on our "list" and spending about $30 per person for stocking stuffers and a present for the five family members we will have with us for Christmas. Instead of lavish presents, we are getting one or two small, hopefully thoughtful, things.
So what are you doing to keep spending down during the holidays?
