How much do you spend on Christmas, all in?

[walkwalk]

Just wondering as growing up we didn't have much, so didn't spend much. Now I am a bit more financially comfortable and we have a budget of £750 this year - that's for absolutely everything (tree, food, booze, gifts, treats, activities...). It feels like a LOT but then I read on here about some peoples traditions (Christmas Eve hampers with new games, treats and pj's for whole family), and very impressive gift lists for the kids etc.. sounds lovely but it's kind of blowing my mind, doing the mental math, they must be spending thousands??

Just curious, obviously look away if you prefer not to talk money! :)

£750 for all presents ( four kids, mum, sister, bill, two friends and friends dd)then possibly £300 on food and drinks we dont normally have but that's slightly balanced out as we have to eat anyway. So not too bad for a family of six.

I'm going to spend less next year. Just slightly less on presents

Gosh more than £1000 here food and drinks is about £300 altogether, presents for friends about £200 presents for kids x 3 plus nieces/ nephews/ aunts uncles grandparents makes up the rest. I start in July to spread the cost.
