Do you have a Christmas budget?

 1 In 5 say they won’t have a Christmas budget??
 
The year is winding down and the holiday season is rapidly approaching.  With upcoming parties, family gatherings, work functions, children’s school events and the inevitable holiday shopping, now might be the time to complete a mini financial review.  Consider the five financial tips to do before the year ends in the link below, published in the Globe and Mail recently, and determine if now is a good time to set your Christmas budget. 


Additional links within the article also remind you to make sure you keep your financial plans ahead of the hustle and bustle of holiday spending. And remember that the holiday season has a way of turning otherwise rational shoppers into over-spenders who have a hard time saying “no” to $65 tins of peanut brittle.  Enjoy the holiday season knowing that you have set your parameters and will stick to it!  (and also enjoy this recipe for homemade peanut brittle… excellent way to stretch your dollar!)
