About Merry Little Christmas On A Budget
Every year when Christmas holiday season rolls around we all aspire to recreate the magic we remember experiencing as little kids – for our own children, kids in our care, for our parents, and all the special people in our lives. But creating this magic can be very stressful, and so it’s not uncommon for people to go, “I can’t wait for December 26!”
In Merry Christmas On A Budget you will learn a simple yet effective approach and mindset to this whole Christmas shopping/gifting challenge that will improve your mood and make you feel less stressed and less hassled in the lead-up to Christmas and the New Year.
For the parents, creating the magic of Christmas should really be the icing on a cake you’ve been baking all year – and a lot of parents know this at the back of their minds. Which partly explains the feelings of guilt when it comes time to do Christmas shopping.
Guilt can make you do all kinds of things when shopping in stores. Things such as buying way too many gifts, or spending beyond what you’re comfortable spending – which magnifies the stress and can lead to debt and grief afterwards.
We’ll look at how to manage the guilt in the lead-up to Christmas with tips that will improve your mood and help you make smarter choices when shopping for gifts.
Most parents don’t give themselves credit for being good parents… we’ll look at a checklist that tells you if you’ve been doing a good job as a parent. This can greatly reduce feelings of guilt that drive up your purchases during Christmas shopping season.
We’ll also look at some little-known insights on play psychology that are proven to cut your budget when shopping for toys for kids.
Christmas should be a happy time, a time to rejoice in the company of family and friends – a time to live in the present; an event that brings a joy that will last.
