It makes no sense

What does Christmas have to do with it? They function that way year round.

I do have a theory on this, though. I think it is all a fiendish plot to trick men in to doing all of the shopping they want done. Think about it. She is going to the store for X, whether you are ok with spending that money or not. But while there, she is going to also buy Y, Z, A, B, and C. That's a whole lot more than just buying X alone. The goal is that you will make the conscious decision to save the money from the additional items and volunteer to go to the store and get X (which you probably didn't even want her to get in the first place) to avoid the additional spending, leaving her free to hang out with girlfriends sipping on some nice vino...

Don't fall for the trap!!!
