Woman tells longtime friends she can't afford both the Christmas gift exchange and their fancy celebratory dinner, friend then questions her about all her spending habits when asked to pick one: 'You're on budget, and you can still get a facial?'

Hoo..Hoo..How dare she? Where does one draw the line between Christmas wants and Christmas needs? Christmas is the most special time of the year, bringing together family and friends, whilst expressing love in the form of thoughtful gifts, yummy foods, and cozy matching PJs! Not only is it the most special time of the year, but it is also the most expensive…Leaving most of our wallets wishing to be placed on the Nice List immediately, mysteriously filled by Santa's helpers…Yet, unfortunately, as the sun sets on Christmas night, we are the only financial helpers left to rely on. And suddenly the Christmas tree lights begin to flicker and fade!

This group of friends is feeling the burn of the Christmas costs weeks before the Big Day, as they decide on how best to celebrate. Contemplating whether to have a super cute gift exchange inspired by a TikTok video one of the girls saw…or by having their annual celebratory Xmas dinner! Coming to terms with the sad truth that due to their finances, they're going to have to pick only one…But as they do, it seems like disagreement is flowing through the friend group faster than Rudolph on his sleigh!
