Christmas in July

For one week each July, we think and plan about Christmas. Why? Let me count the reasons.

1. Summertime is a little more laid back. Schedules are a little looser. Now is a great time to think about last Christmas, what you want to improve on, what you want to do this year.

2. Some holiday projects take some time to put together. If you start thinking about those now, you won’t feel so pressed come November.

3. By planning ahead, you can start adjusting your budget today and avoid over-spending (and debt) later on.

4. End-of-summer sales are great, as are back-to-school specials. Savvy shopping in July can pay off in money and time savings later.

5. Having a holiday plan before you enter the busyness of Fall enables you to enjoy the holiday season more, without feeling stressed out or over-spent.

Join us for a week of giveaways and creative Christmas planning!
