Christmas Spending

I am on track with my Christmas budget. I'm not buying my family "things". They will be getting gift cards to places they like to eat and my nieces will be getting $20 in cash each, to do with it as they like, they can buy a toy, do something fun or save it. My family always used to love to eat out and in fact, every Friday since I can remember, was always a restaurant night. Unfortunately, I decided to keep this habit when I left home and so did my brother - which we then converted our spouses into enjoying. For that, we were a bad influence. So I know the "restaurant" gift cards will be enjoyed by my parents and my brother and sister-in-law. Since we have cut our "restaurant" budget drastically - and we hardly eat out anymore, I'm thinking maybe I should purchase one also for hubby's stocking...
