2. it is a bit of a stretch this year
3. I have to start with alot of stuff to be done
4. Its a darn good thing Santa dont have to buy gas for his sleigh....no xmas this yr....maybe next yr...food and gas come first....
5. just had a baby and have been off of work for 5 months... all our bills are behind... no christmas this year I'm afraid.
6. It's a financial burden for a lot of people every year. I very much like to give gifts to friends and loved ones. Since banks no longer do "Christmas Clubs" like they did until the early 1980s, I simply have a secondary savings account at my bank and throw in $10-15 per week. Come December 1, I have about $650, and what I don't spend on gifts goes into my regular savings account. Simple as pie. :-)
7. I refuse to let Christmas be a financial burden.
