It's €1000 more than in other months, not €1000 more than this time last year.Just listening to RTE News where IBEC has predicted each household will spend more than €1000 extra this Christmas. This claim is despite rising prices, recent riots in Dublin and everything else that is happening. Are we stupid or whaaa?
I don't send Christmas card. I haven't done for years. It's for environmental reasons, not because I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered.It's probably a true statement when you factor in the nights out, the travelling costs to the in-laws/own family down the country (obviously you can't turn up empty handed), Christmas cards and postage, presents etc. All of that before you consider food and drink. Santa is not cheap these days
People just spend for' today 'and worry about ' tomorrow ' if man, if it comes...People just spend for' today 'and worry about ' tomorrow ' when it comes...
Then there are the dedicated bargain hunters, who can afford to stock up on the seasonal drinks offers now and don't spend a cent on drink until Paddys Day...A lot of people will spend big at Christmas alright but some of those same people will be broke in the New Year ......it's like a vicious circle.
