So, many of us westerners/Christmas celebrators will be starting to save money for Christmas presents pretty soon.
Does anyone think this will affect BTC price? i.e. People who would normally be investing part of their monthly pay cheque in BTC not doing so.
What do you guys think?

I think people will buy bitcoin, make paper wallets and give them out as presents. That is what I will do this Christmas.

Actually it may rise.
It's end of the year, people (and companies) may get some extra cash to invest into BTC

It will go down, just because those who normaly holds will need more money than usual days, so they cash out.

Me too. My closest BTC ATM allows Bitcoin purchases as small as $5 including a freshly printed paper wallet, the perfect stocking stuffer or accompaniment to a Xmas card. I wish I'd had this option 2 Xmases ago. I remember reading a post here last year from someone who gave his kids each a paper wallet containing coins at a cost of $12 and was glad they hadn't figured out how to spend them before they hit 4 digits. |

There are probably a good number of us that did something similar. I gave out a bunch of 1BTC Casacius coins for Xmas in 2012. $13 each.  |

Yes, but Bitcoiners only. Most other people will buy the usual crap nobody really wants... Because of Christmas people will have less time to trade on exchanges. So I predict that volume could be reduced. However I don't think Christmas will have a significant systematic effect on exchange ratio in either direction, because those Bitcoiners that buy regularly are deeply in love with their currency and are more likely to buy cheaper gifts than stopping their investment activity...  ya.ya.yo! |

Maybe... I bought my first piece of BTC on Christmas Day last year. I was bored on my computer and was like why not, the only thing open on Christmas Day is BTC exchanges Perhaps others will do the same this year. |

It is possible, as you said.
But not certain, because several news that were supposed to get BTC to the moon failed to move the price upwards.

Holidays means usually less volume, and people cashing out to spend it during the holidays. So unless abnormal developments, we'll probably see what we know as dip.

It depends on if we are near a bubble or not. I use to give BTC for gifts, but I won't if it's trending up. I'd rather maximize my gains and just use fiat to buy normal gifts.

In the end of year holidays people also receive work bonus, this is why they buy more and sometimes invest more. Question is if they will going to BTC or not Also the rise does not needs to happen on the Christmas day... |

If I invested my savings then yea it would have been rough, but I'm just throwing an extra $100-$200 a month at it. |
