We have quite a large extended family, and usually buy gifts for everyone. But this year we’ve done a secret Santa between the adults with a £50 limit. So we all get something we actually want rather than £20 little token gifts because everyone is skint. We will buy the kids gifts still.
My own kids are getting less than usual, normally £300 each roughly, there’s 3 of them. But this year they have £100 each.
We have bought a very small Christmas tree and will be doing a small Christmas dinner. Everything is still happening it’s just on a smaller scale. It’s hard to be festive when it’s costing £10-15 a day to have the heating and lights on.
