I'm keeping it simple this year.
-- Shopping locally, paying cash, no credit card use. I want to wake up on January 01, 2023 without a hangover of debt.
-- Sticking to my budget. Food and treats all come out of my monthly cash draw.
For Thanksgiving, I'm making two favorites: cranberry/tangerine/pomegranate relish and the no crust pumpkin pie I've made for several years. I have plenty of whipped topping for the pie in my fridge.
For Christmas, I'll make my favorite peppermint stick ice cream, to be crowned with chocolate sauce and whipped topping. I'll buy a bag (or two) of Ghirardelli peppermint bark when I see it in the store.
Decorations, using what I have on hand. Don't need to buy more.
Be an elf to yourself, you don't need to go into debt to enjoy the holiday season. Be wise, economize!
