No as we didn't go over too much and I have the money in savings to pay the bill.

We do a christmas club every year so we don't have to use the credit cards. Otherwise I would also be sick to my stomach waiting for the bill to arriveChat Icon

Re: Is anyone else scared to get your credit card bill

i used cash for most of everything and didn't shop that much for anything for my home or myself this season, so my bill should be a lot lower.

Every week we have $20 automatically placed into a holiday savings account through our bank. Than in October we receive the payout. You don't receive any interest on it, it's just an easy way to save for the holidays.

Re: Is anyone else scared to get your credit card bill

No, we spread our shopping out over the last 6 months, so we get our last bill next month and it should be pretty low, and then we'll be done with credit bills for a while!

Re: Is anyone else scared to get your credit card bill

A little, but I only charged about $500. Most of my Christmas money came from money I made on ebay, which def. helped out!!

Re: Is anyone else scared to get your credit card bill

1) We used a couple of different cards to psych oursevles into thinking it's not THAT much money. (Doesn't work by the way)

2) I've been checking my statements online, so the one big shock after Christmas has been reduced to a constant stinging the past few weeks.

No worries though. If we didnt buy it for the holidays, we would have bought it for ourselves eventually.
