We seem to always spend a fortune as well, well on our son & me on OH
We tend to spend about 200.00 pounds on our son & i spend the same on OH. We have a baby due in April next year (its first few xmas's will be fine) but once he hits about 4-5 both my kids will have the same spent on them
The way i see it is xmas is once a year, my son never asks for stupidly expensive stuff, he isnt into toys really so is very hard to buy for he always has been. I buy stuff that i know he would love. He gets stuff on his birthday but that is it. I dont buy through the year as i dont need to
