You’ll find strategies for saving on holiday travel, cutting food and drink costs at home and on the road, choosing more affordable activities, decorating safely and creatively with crafts, and keeping gifts within budget using lists and spending rules.

quality time with friends and family. Unfortunately, money worries often get in the way of having
a truly carefree celebration.
The pressure to spend comes from almost every angle. Visiting relatives will often mean:
• Flights
• Accommodation
• Transfers to and from the airport
• Car rental
• Gas
And if you drive to your family, it will mean gas and possibly long hours on the road in bad
weather.
Your travel-related expenses might also involve pet care, such as in-home pet sitting or
boarding.
Then there are the food and drink pressures. Everyone loves seasonal treats, but the excess
doesn't just burst your belt, but your budget too.
Many people host meals at their homes. They also participate in a range of social activities with
food as the main focus of attention, such as church suppers and potlucks.
