Christmas Planning In June
Alan Schram has written an interesting article on canadianfinanceblog.com about preparing a budget for Christmas starting now, rather than in November or December when it is likely to late to get your finances in order. The tidbit I liked best was scratching a general list out of things you want to get for the people on your Christmas list so you can take advantage of any sales you see between now and then as well as reduce your overall shopping load come December. The only thing we’d add is to start thinking about setting up a secret santa group for your family and friends which is a great budget helper and adds to the fun of the Christmas season. Check out Alan’s article, Preparing For Christmas in June for more useful Christmas budget tips!
