Christmas is a day that can create "unnecessary" debt. The one thing about Christmas that we can always count on is that it falls on the same date each year, giving us three hundred and sixty-five days to prepare. The insanity is that we are somehow caught off guard every year, and we sing the same "I cannot believe the holidays are here already" song.

I am working to manage our finances differently. We were on top of things but due to numerous factors are buried in debt right now. Thankfully we did not take out money on our house when the market was booming so we are in great shape there. The other thing I do right is save every month for Christmas. I have a set amount I want to have saved and then I play a game with myself to see how little I can spend, through coupons and bargains, etc. and still have a really good Christmas.
