Can you believe it?! In just EIGHT weeks, both Thanksgiving and Christmas will be behind us! 😱
Be honest… are you ready for that?
👉 Are you ready for those holidays to roll in?
👉 Are you ready to have that stress-free, debt-free, joy-filled time with your family like you promised yourself every year?
Halloween is over, but the stores and thrift shops are still filled with costumes. 🎭 When my kids were little, I used to scoop up costumes in November when prices dropped to rock-bottom. They made perfect gifts and added a ton of fun to our holidays!
I’d toss them in the gift closet, and come Christmas, those costumes became treasures—princess gowns, superhero capes, firefighter hats, fairy wings, you name it. 👑🦸♂️🧚♀️ Sometimes I’d even put together a dress-up trunk for all the kids to share. It was creative, budget-friendly, and guaranteed hours of imaginative play.
This year, let’s bring back that kind of magic. ✨
Let’s plan ahead, shop smart, and make this a fun, frugal, and debt-free Christmas together.
So, tell me—what’s one smart or creative way you stretch your holiday budget or make gifts more meaningful? 💡
