Man on the street: ‘Will you spend more or less on Christmas this year than you did last year?’

“Probably about the same, which is always too much. I’m a big sap when it comes to Christmas.”

Elizabeth Martin

Dallas

“I’m always trying not to spend too much. And for Christmas I’m into making memories with my family because we have too much stuff already.”

Nicole Kronenwetter

Dallas

“We are spending less because we are poor. It’s more about being together for Christmas for us anyway.”

Tina Carlin

Meshoppen

“Our family shops locally and we’re not much for getting big presents, either.”

Erin Brennan

Wyoming

“I’m basically poor so spending is not even a consideration for me.”

Nicole Gushi

Harding

“More money this year. The kids are bigger and have more needs.”
