To me, Christmas is all about loving others, spending time with family, and the birth of Jesus. To others, it's all about the gifts.
Although giving and receiving gifts are a fun part of celebrating this very special holiday, it doesn't mean we should spend months worth of our income towards gifts alone. Some people save up all year for Christmas because they know they will be spending big buckaroos on gifts.
Whether it's for your kids, family, friends, or co-workers, you want to have a strict budget for gifts and how much you are wanting to spend per person / group.
If you don't stick to your budget, you may go into deep debt and spend the next several months trying to pay it off -- while also trying to save up for the next Christmas. It's not a situation you want to be in....
SO BUDGET YOUR CHRISTMAS!
