    Do you have to go on a spending 'fast' after the holiday season? If so, are you over it now?

    Not really---I don't have tons of people to buy for around the holidays, and I keep it small and simple for the ones I do buy for. I always make sure I pay for things with cash, use coupons when I can, and any credit card purchases are online only, and I also make sure I can pay off the full balance when the bill comes in.

    For the most part we pay cash for Xmas presents. Now and then we buy something online and that uses a credit card which we pay off as the bill arrives.

    No. We didn't get over our heads. We paid as we went.

    We haven't recovered from the 2009 holidays... irony

    But, we no longer go big for the holidays. Our limit is $25 each for the 3 kids and 5 grandkids. Sometimes IF we find something for the family, we might up it a little...
