Christmas
Tips 1 - Get creative with Christmas gift wrapping.
You can really spruce up your package by applying festive patterns
to make gift giving more enjoyable while adding sentimental
value. Consider using cut-outs from tissue paper, construction
paper, doilies, etc. This is both fun and light on the pockets
when considering the expenses of purchasing wrapping paper.
To "wrap" it all up, personalize each package with
a note for that special person!

Tips 2 - Fireproof your Christmas Tree. Mix 1 cup ammonium
sulfate, 1 half cup of boric acid and 2 tablespoons or borax
into one gallon of water. Spray down the tree with this solution
and pour the remainder into the basin of the tree stand.

Tips 3 - Dodge the woes of Christmas shopping. Always avoid
weekends. Although the marketing of sales are geared toward
the weekends, promotional events generally extend throughout
the weekdays. Don't let the hype of a "weekend" sale
deceive you into a frenzy of looking for a parking spot and
waiting in exhausting checkout lines. Do your Christmas shopping
early and you will reap the benefits of stumbling across bargains
for quality items- remember quality over quantity!
Christmas
Tips 4 - Spice up your party. Avoid the typical, bland holiday
gathering by organizing your party around a theme, such as "Christmas
Past" or "Twelve Days of Christmas." Plan foods
around your theme and encourage guests to dress the part.

Tips 5 - Get in the mix. Try online Christmas shopping.
The benefits of shopping online often include faster service,
immediate attention to "out-of-stock" merchandise,
tax-free purchases, and free-shipping. Online Christmas shopping
often opens up opportunities to receiving special promotion
prices and products that aren't readily available to "in-store"
customers. How much more convenient than shopping in the comfort
of your own home get?

Tips 6 - Send a Christmas letter. Tired of Christmas cards?
Change it up by sending your friends and relatives a brief letter
highlighting your year. Keep your letter light-hearted and entertaining.
Those receiving the letter will appreciate a break from the
Christmas card routine. This is also one of the few socially
acceptable ways to boast about your own accomplishments.
Christmas
Tips 7 - Consider LED Christmas lights. In recent years,
LED Christmas lights have gained popularity for several reasons.
The cost efficiency of LED lights has been proven to be much
more beneficial than normal lights. The amount of energy used
in LED Christmas lights is much less than that of traditional
lights, which will save you money on your electricity bill.
Though the initial cost of LED lights is slightly higher, the
lifespan of LED lights compensate for the cost- you will no
longer need to worry about spending money on replacing lights
every year!
Christmas
Tips 8 - Keep all receipts throughout the holiday season.
Always save receipts for the conventional reason of returning
items. Aside from that, there is nothing more important than
keeping a budget of how much spending was done during a very
costly and busy time of year. By reflecting on your purchases
that range from expenses for Christmas parties, presents, cards,
driving, decorations, etc., needless spending and ways to cut
costs may be beneficial for the following holiday seasons.
