Believe it or not Christmas is not too far off. 5 months to be exact, almost 4! With Christmas, comes family get togethers and the hectic , chaotic, experience of Christmas shopping. If your an adult you've all been there. The frantic sprinting around to get this tv for your uncle, this new game for your kid, and a gift for your wife, etc, etc. Many people don't realize that all this chaos can be prevented by planning ahead. What do you mean by planning ahead you ask? Well let me explain. Planning ahead for Christmas can be simple and pain free. All you have to do is come up with a savings plan. A savings plan doesn't have to be a huge savings, like $100 a week. It can be something small like $10-$20 a week. It may not seem like much at first but if you begin at the beginning of the year and save till Christmas the savings really do add up. Let's put the example to test. If you save $20 a week for a month you'll earn around $60-$80 a week. Multiply that by 12 and you've earned $720-$960! This is of course a rough estimate but you get the picture. Now when your sprinting around trying to get stuff done you can have that extra $720 in your pocket that you didn't have the year before. If you're not the one for saving then you can easy get layaway on items you know you'll be getting around Christmas time. What is layaway? Layaway is a simple way of getting a bunch of items and paying them off little by little until you have it all paid off. You will then receive the items once it's all paid off. This can be great if your looking to avoid the Christmas rush that happens every year. Regardless, there's many different ways you can prepare yourself for the challenges that are Christmas shopping. Good luck to you all! |

Why not? I think it's best to buy gifts after x-mass for the next year because everything is cheap and in good condition still. |

I have most of it done, but not all. There are some great deals near Christmas time. Going to wait for those. :) |

The bad thing about waiting is the crowds. |
