Its sad that there is already christmas stuff out in stores. its not even halloween yet. Even if it is all on sale ... it doesnt make a difference people are still spending all of their money buying their families gifts ... instead of buying more important things. It can be nice so you can get all of your shopping done early but spending that much money all at the same time is nuts. they should have better sales throughout the year so people can keep a balance instead of trying to pay back credit cards from christmas.

I think that people do need to start saving their money more. Even though there are already many christmas decorations and gifts in the stores, people can't afford them. They need to save thier money and focus on more important things. If you can't afford it, don't buy it.

What ever happened to "its the thought that counts?" At Christmas time especially it should not be a race to see who can go the furthest into debt..Christmas is a time of loving and spending time with one another. If people could look past the pressures to get the best toys or most gifts i feel like Christmas would get its real focus and celebration back. One more thing...budget budget budget! If spending alot on Christmas gifts is really important to you then save throughout the year, but don't overspend the money that is obviously needed to support the family.
