With the hustle & bustle of the Season, it is easy to lose focus of what truly matters. Use this page to set your priorities.



Holiday BudgetThere is nothing more stressful than spending money you don’t have. Keep your expenses in check by being realistic from the get-go about what you can afford to spend. Look for ways to save where you can so

you can splurge where you want. Remember: the Holidays are not about having more THINGS!




Gift Planning WorksheetKeep track of who’s getting what....and how much you spent. (Print more of this page, if necessary)




‘Tis Better to Give than ReceiveDon’t forget the special people in your life this year, but remember that it really is the thought

that counts! Consider handmade gifts, a simple card, baked goods, or even acts of service.

the ingredients you will need to buy. Then, as the items you need go on sale, stock up on what you need and cross that item off your list. Buying items at their lowest possible price will help keep your holiday food budget in check!
