A high scientific measure of the current state of the economy.

How much have you spent on Xmas presents this year?

Me: about a grand

    About a grand, maybe just under

    Based on the article I was reading yesterday, and connected forum, that is a tiny amount compared to some people. Some people spend that on 1 child

    £205; more than I have ever done previously! (to be fair I have a small family and we don't go overboard at Christmas)

    In my grand is a ps4 wrapped up for the boy but if I'm honest that's for me too. I have 1 child myself 5 nieces/nephews and a step child. Add in parents, two brothers and their partners plus my girlfriend and a grand doesn't go far

    No grandkids yet (not for long time) bet they cost

    The usual £0. Christmas should be about spending time with your loved ones, not wasting cash

    Under £50, including all wrapping, boxes, postage.
    If I added it all up it might be under £30.

    I expect to receive (already got some and squeezed them to guess) about £5s worth from family; from non family, about £3s worth plus a dinner.

    I don't have any loved ones. Closest to that's left the country for a Xmas holiday.
