SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - The financial crisis won't cheat Australia out of Christmas this year, with one in three people saying while they don't intend to cut back their festive spending, they will be more sensible, a new survey showed.

Commissioned by online retail site eBay, the survey showed the global economic slowdown was causing financial stress for 65 percent of Australians and causing them to cut back on luxuries on a daily basis as well as eating out, using their car and holiday travel.
