Discussion will you make it a big last Christmas for your loved ones?

[TheHolySword]

For those of you planning to stick around for the holidays and have the funds/means to do so: do you plan on giving your family (or other loved ones) one last big christmas? As in, are you gonna spend a ton on gifts and such? Or do you plan to keep it lowkey so you won't arouse suspicion? If you do have anything planned, I'd love to hear about it!

I plan on surprising my family with a bunch of different things. I'm not so worried about them thinking much of it because I always tend to go overboard with spending around the holidays. I just want to give them one big last happy memory of a Christmas together and hopefully it will make the subsequent years a bit less sad - wishful thinking, I know.

I really want to! I don't have as much money as I'd like to have but I managed to save £900! Christmas is really only the three of us so rn I got my nana a new heated blanket, purse and rabanne olympea and got my mum Marc Jacobs Daisy, bose earphones and I'm still looking at designer handbags. Only problem is obviously a lot of the good ones are like £2k+ and £200-600 take up half the budget T_T

I think that's so sweet!! It may not seem like a lot saved but I think it's more than enough to give them a lovely Christmas! You're putting time and effort and care into them and I think that's just as valuable. I hope you're able to find a nice handbag for your mom! I also hope you're all able to have a blessed season together

I hope not. Sorry to be a downer but I don't like Christmas. I'm able to stay in touch with my family throughout the year, so it's not really a special family gathering for me. Instead it just feels like mindless consumerism. It's made especially tedious when everyone's already bought everything they want during the year so we all just get each other gift cards or stuff we don't want.
