Ended-Merry Christmas $100 Visa Giftcard Giveaway!
Christmas can be a very overwhelming time of year, especially if you wait until the last minute to start your Christmas shopping! I typically start right after Christmas shopping all the after Christmas sales for the upcoming year. I know that some of you may think that I am crazy, but I am able to spend less and I am able to enjoy the Holiday season because the majority of my shopping is done before we hit November! I want to help one lucky reader get an early start on their Christmas shopping by giving them a $100 Visa Giftcard!

Wrap as you buy so you don’t have so many gifts to wrap at once.
I shop throughout the year. That alleviates holiday stress and allows me to stretch my budget, since I can take advantage of sales throughout the year!

Buy gifts throughout the year.
Try to have all your shopping done before Thanksgiving because then you can enjoy the true meaning of Christmas.
I love shopping with my husband or a friend. We make it fun by going to dinner and then just we relax with enjoyable company and laugh our way through the madness. Of course, a list and preparation with coupons/sales helps as well! If I dread it, I will not have fun, but if I look forward to a night out, makes all the difference!

Start with a good attitude. Prepare for delays. Make a list. Think about the person you are making a purchase for…say a prayer for them and recall good times with them. Think of their goodness.
Have ideas for what you might want to purchase and do the sales/deals. I love shopping for Christmas.
Leave the husband at home!!

I love traveling to this little town with the coolest little shop with my Aunt…we have been doing it the last few years! It is always a good trip to look forward to and it just gets me in the spirit because they are friendly and the Christmas music is in full swing.
My sisters and I go out to eat after shopping.
I always buy a special little notebook to keep in my purse, so I will have a list.

I POSTED ANOTHER TIP ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE
I KEEP A LIST OF CHRISTMAS IDEAS IN MY PURSE AT ALL TIMES JUST IN CASE I RUN ACROSS A GREAT DEAL OR FIND A COUPON FOR SOMETHING ON THE LIST.
My best tip isn’t the shopping it is the wrapping: I wrap gifts and tape then my husband adds the labels to make a short assembly line!

Earlier this week the family was sharing Christmas memories and mine was of my great-grandmother wrapping presents in the colored Sunday comics. The kids thought that was really neat, so I have started saving the comics to wrap their presents in!
Best Christmas tip: listen to Christmas music as I bake, shop, run errands and wrap gifts. It really puts me in a super holiday mood!
