[...] On a whole, I think this is a good thing. The gift inflation associated with the holidays in recent years put a premium on the cost of the gift, and encouraged spending money. On top of that, expensive gifts, and a profusion of gifts, are both things that contribute to a materialistic outlook.

I agree Tax Lawyer, use cash!!!!!! Also, I would take advantage of “pay as you go” programs. This includes cell phones. If you are planning to get a loved one a cell phone for Christmas, get them a prepaid wireless phone. I got my kids on the Verizon/Tracfone network with Straight Talk. It is $45 a month and give them unlimited talk and text and 30MB of data. There are no activation, overage, or cancellation fees. Best part is…you don’t have to put it on your credit card because there is no monthly bill. You PAY AS YOU GO. Great deal, huh?

I love all of these tips. Another great idea is to make a separate budget just for Christmas. It’s amazing how all of the little extras add up like food and drinks when entertaining, holiday clothing, and last minute gifts. If you write them all down, it makes it easier to see what you need to plan for.
