Whoah, hold up there Frisky. Now, I don't know you personally, but that comment in and of itself puts you in the 15 - 21 age range, or in the very least, in the "receiver of gifts" age range, not the "giver of gifts" range. Anyone older than that (or God forbid, with kids) not only has ABSOLUTELY ZERO EXTRA MONEY after Christmas, but they owe several thousand to various loans and credit lines for months to come. I checked your bio and you're an Applications Engineer, so perhaps that explains your extra money and it has nothing to do with your age or gift-giving status -- but it has nothing to do with Christmas either... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

P.S. Don't take any offense to my comments -- just pointing out that for most of us, Christmas has drained every last possible available dime and maybe ten thousand more -- certainly the opposite of "extra money from Christmas".
