POLL: Do You Have a Spending Cap for Holiday Shopping?

With the economy slowly on the mend, some people may find themselves in a better financial position than they were at this time a year ago. For others, discretionary funds may still be at a minimum, and make up very little of one's day to day budget.

Everyone does the best they can around the holidays, but the pressure to buy, buy, buy can be more stressful for some than others. We're curious about the different situations here in town. Is your shopping budget greater than, or on par with last year's budget?
