Thanksgiving is almost here! Hanging out with family and friends, with a combination of great food, equals an amazing time! Christmas music is just about to be all over the radio and the shoppers will be everywhere.
I love this season, but there is something practical we have to remember. Don’t overdo it. Our emotions overtake us in the holiday season and usually two things happen. We overeat and we overspend. Most of us regret it big time after the fact, but many do not consider the fact beforehand.
We see the cranberry sauce, the turkey, and the stuffing, and go crazy. Or maybe we feel like we have to get everyone a present even if we can’t afford them.
This may seem like a silly post, but our health and our finances are very important! Make a plan and stick to it for the holiday season. And don’t overdo it.

It would suck to have to pay for ‘08 Christmas with ‘09 Christmas funds.
We have had Christmas budgeted since September, and plan to stick to it..
