“Yes, definitely. The cost of everything is going up. But, you know, it’s still Christmas and I have kids, so I have to shop.”

“In my family, we usually limit it to one gift. So that makes it easier. It might be a different type of gift this year, but if that’s the way it has to be, then that’s the way it’s has to be.”
Lawrence Williams

“I will still buy gifts, but they will be a lot of small gifts, not the large gifts. Plus, I think there will be a lot of stuff on sale after Christmas, so I think I’ll wait and get better deals.”
