Christmas Season

Tis the season to be Thrifty, or however it is that the song goes.

This holiday season should be different from what we've experienced over the last few years. Several factors are changing our little season of chaotic spending and over-decorated holidays. Economic downturns aren't exactly the healthiest of things, especially when it comes to our wallets. In light of the crash we're going through, this season should serve as a reminder that one can have a good holiday season without blowing the savings account on all your relatives, neighbors, friends, and people you may or may not have met at a party some time. Rather than go all out on those expensive gifts, why not spend intellect first? Take some time to really think about them and what they'd use. If you really think on it enough, you'll be able to find something that they'll use, and something they'll really value.

So this holiday season, we should try to spend some brain instead of some cash.
