With Black Friday and Cyber Monday behind us, Lilburn Patch correspndent Cyndi Ford asked residents about their gift-spending plans this holiday season.

Question: Will you be spending the same amount this holiday season as you did last year and why?

Tom Ketring (asked at Guide One Insurance, West Park Place Boulevard)

"I will spend the same this year as last year, but I feel more comfortable spending this amount this year."

David Wormley (asked in Old Town Lilburn Square)

"No, my kids are grown and there is not as much money to go around this year as in the past."   

Alex Ashton (asked at the Blue Rooster Cafe)

"Most likely since I have saved money up and I will also be getting new clothes for myself this year, and my whole family presents."

Diego Portilla (asked at Chick-fil-A, Lawrenceville Highway)

"No, not with the way the economy is. It is not the same as last year."

Ray Cole (asked at Cole's Service Station, Lawrenceville Highway)

"No, it's the economy."
