Christmas is coming and that can either make you very happy or stir up feelings of depression. If you hate the thought of Christmas because you don’t have a lot of money to spend on it, it’s time to rethink your values. OK, I know it’s hard when you kids want the moon and all you can afford is a pebble. It helps if you are honest with them. Remind them that your budget doesn’t stretch just because it’s Christmas. Then tell them that you want to have a great Christmas in spite of your wallet. Ask them to help you think of new ways to enjoy the season. You might be surprised at what they come up with.
If you need some help, you might want to read an article I wrote titled Enjoying the Holidays In a Tough Economy . Also, if you happen to be in Orlando on December 5th, my Chiropractor is having a Christmas Event. He is gathering toys and such for Christmas boxes. Even if you can’t fill a box yourself, you can find something to share with those who are less fortunate than yourself. It’s a great way to kick off the Christmas season.
