I have decided to cut way back this year, becasue though giving is nice its not needed. We are planning a bake day and will share our holiday cheer with a few homemade baked treats, and buying small gifts or books for all the kids in our lives. I think we as a society have gotten so wrapped up in the stuff that we have forgotten the true meaning of the holidays and spending time with our loved ones. Its refreshing to hear others stepping back, starting traditions and being sensible! Great tip with the shopping buddy.

With so many other bills to pay (mortgage, insurance, utilities) you've GOT to have a plan for the holidays if you're going to stay on track with your goals. For us, we use ebay for a lot of gifts. You can find great deals on there. Another is that we shop all year long for deals. You've really got to know what the person wants but when you find a good deal, grab it. Then, it doesn't feel like holiday shopping will lead to breaking the bank when December comes around. Jerry www.leads4insurance.com Yes, you can certainly stay within your budget for Christmas.
