COUNT DOWN FOR SHOPPING

THE DAYS ARE COMING TO THE DEADLINE for the last little shopping that needs to be done. This can be the most stressful time of all, but remain calm and you will get through it. Remember to keep your budget at hand and pay all your due bills before going any farther with your shopping. This procedure will help relieve the building stress and remember, there's always Christmas Eve shopping that gives you the best deals cost wise. Never allow yourself to be put in a position that only ends up hurting you and costing you more for the sake of looking good about a gift. Keep in control and do only what you can afford for right now. There will always be next year as long as you're willing to prepare for it. And by managing your money you will be working towards that goal for next year. If you have to put off a bill, be sure to call them and give them a heads up, even if you have to do it every single year till this bill is paid off. But remember, you are creating one of those "bad" ruts if you choose this action and it may not be the right choice to keeping the control of your budget. Use these suggestions if they work for you, because what you have been doing hasn't been working so far. Excuses only delay an already out of hand situation, so staying strong will help you control all the actions you take towards your goals.
ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS AND CELEBRATE the birthday of Jesus as this is what this Holiday is all about. Giving will probably make you feel good no matter how inexpensive the gift, because the thought is what counts. Keeping a light heart is part of the giving experience as everyone will reflect off your brightness as well. Try smiling at everyone you meet and see what happens to that person or persons. Sometimes the greatest gift you can give to anyone is the happy side of yourself. It gets contagious and spreads like a virus. All people want to be hopeful that all is well with the world, and smiling kind of gives that a sample of the hope. Be giving but stay in control and you probably will feel warm inside letting you know that this is what it's all about.
