“I will spend some money on my family this Christmas. I like to enjoy Christmas with my friends and family, and I will have many cards and presents. Spending money at Christmas is important, it makes you feel happy to be able to buy for people. Even if you don’t have it, you have to spend it on your children at Christmas.”
PETER EZENWAKA
from Nigeria
“I will spend some money on my family this Christmas. I like to enjoy Christmas with my friends and family, and I will have many cards and presents.
Spending money at Christmas is important, it makes you feel happy to be able to buy for people. Even if you don’t have it, you have to spend it on
your children at Christmas.”
ANN MARIE LAWLOR
from Ireland
“I think I would be paying about €200–300. I think a lot of people will travel up North to go shopping, though. I went up yesterday to do a bit and you definitely notice the difference in prices with some things. I think everyone will be watching their purses this Christmas and if there are bargains to be had up there I think it’s well worth it.”
JESSICA DOOLEY
from Ireland
“I would say I will be paying out about €300 on presents this year. I do think that people will definitely be watching their money though, trying to get the
best deals on things.”
MARCIN KULIK
from Poland
“This Christmas I will be staying here so I will be saving on the flight home. Obviously I think the economic crisis is affecting families who have children a
lot more. People are getting scared, and that affects everything, because the less people buy the worse the shops do, and everything slows down.
It is a vicious circle, really.”
