The annual forgiveness of all hobby spending, declared each January with full knowledge of the December receipts.

The hobbybudgetamnesty wipes the slate between hobbies: last year's camera is amortized, this year's wool is pre-forgiven. The treasurer of the household declares it, and the declared amount is honored in spirit. Under the amnesty, all equipment is described as "basically free," and the ledger is not opened.

Etym. — hobby budget + amnesty — the pardon granted to pastime purchases.

Rel. — craftsalehope
