So I’ve been trying to tally up my spending for the holiday season and I lost count somewhere over $6,000 and I honestly don’t know what the total tab has been. So here’s a quick run down of the holiday shopping list.
- Samsung 55″ LED TV w/BluRay player $2200
- Vizio 47″ LED TV $900
- 3 iPod Touch’s – $700
- Xbox 360 + game and controller – $300
- Nintendo DSi – $130
- Variety of games, toys, and other items $600
- Cash gifts to family members $900
- Hosting Christmas at home (food, decorations, gifts, wine, etc)Â $600
- Variety of accessories for all the stuff bought (HDMI cables, ipod Touch covers/sleeves, etc) $200
There are other expenses not even included in here but I have to say it was a really great Christmas compared to last year.  I have no guilt spending this money because it was money that would have otherwise gone to the shitty airlines and pay for TSA goons which I will continue to boycott until my summer vacation in 2011.
So instead of American hotels, restaurants, airlines and tourist locations making money this year, a vast majority of my money went to overseas manufacturers of electronics, toys and other items….looks like China wins yet again!
