Christmas is that beautiful time of year when family and friends get together to enjoy, eat and share; But at the same time, it is the time of year when buyers become more impulsive and companies and brands become much more aggressive in terms of the advertising they bombard us with every day.
Will it be possible to enjoy Christmas without these excesses? Is it possible to enjoy Christmas without your purse dying in the attempt? Of course! Follow these simple steps and you'll be heading in the right direction this year:
- Simplify the decoration: has it happened to you that you have boxes and boxes of Christmas decorations that you do not need? Recycle! Try to put your decorations in order and keep those that give a subtle, but Christmassy touch to your home. Those who do not need donate them to a home that needs them, for example in Peru.
- Create a gift exchange (secret Santa) “diy” (do it yourself): agree with your office, your family or whoever you are going to share a secret Santa with this year that the gifts will be home made. Are you good at weaving? Make a scarf! There are thousands of ideas on places like Pinterest about how to make gifts that look like store bought with just a few simple steps. Try it! See the ideas here.
- Establish a budget: set a budget and stay within it, the important thing is that you understand that it is not an ideal budget, but a necessity. If you don't have one, go in and start one here and also consider using an application or search engine before leaving to make sure you get the best prices in the United States, try Red Laser here.
4. Make a “contri” Christmas dinner: tell your friends that the Christmas dinner will be “contri” style, this comes from the word contribution. Everyone brings something from dinner. So not only do you save -since dinners for many people are very expensive- but they will surely have a great time praising what everyone brought. Here are some ideas to make it international.
The most useful advice? Share and be close to your loved ones, take a deep breath, give gifts that are more experiential than material and live in the present. There are many ways to get through the holidays throughout the year and save at the same time. For more tips, be sure to follow me on Facebook and Twitter. Merry Christmas!
