According to the National Retail Federation, Americans spend an average of $875 on Christmas. This includes gifts, decorations, food, and wrapping paper.
Well, the time to prep for Christmas is NOW! Don’t wait until November or December because you’ll feel overwhelmed.

Smart Ways to Save Money and Your Sanity for Christmas
1. Start preparing for Christmas NOW.
It’s never too early to start preparing for Christmas. In fact, the earlier, the better so you can actually enjoy Christmas this year.

The beauty of starting early is that you have plenty of time to look for deals and sales, without the time pressure of having to get things done.
4. Track your Christmas budget on a spreadsheet.
What if you had a beautiful spreadsheet that made it easier to see your entire gift list, things you need to buy for Christmas, and helps you organize your Christmas card list?
