Debt-Proof Your Holidays

This is a good review of how to save money and how to express yourself over the holidays without breaking the bank.

Great book to help you make great gifts and stay within budget for Christmas. Lots of ideas that are economical and you can gather through out the year and your loved ones will like! There are ideas for food(gifts in a jar) and crafty ideas too. Over all this is a great book and I highly recommend it.

I enjoy Mary Hunt and all her "Tips". This book is yet another resource if you are trying to live more frugally.

Mary Hunt, editor and publisher of The Cheapskate Monthly newsletter, has taken up the challenge of helping her readers find ways to celebrate the holidays without facing the New Year strapped with unnecessary consumer-related debt. Hunt takes her readers through a step-by-step plan for a debt-free holiday season. By examining personal values and attitudes, she enables us to identify what we really want from the holidays. In her own words, she wants to help us celebrate "Christmas by choice, not by chance." Included are numerous practical ideas for saving money at the holidays on everything from food to gifts to family fun to decorations. Whether you're just looking for further frugal ideas for the upcoming holiday season, or you're truly dreading another after-holidays debt hang-over, "Debt-Proof Your Holidays" will be beneficial to read. So put away your credit card and prepare to have the happiest holiday ever!

A delightful and practical resource. After reading this little gem straight through in one evening I am so motivated and inspired to change the way I've always "done" Christmas in the past--with a stack of credit cards. This book is packed with hundreds of reasonable and do-able alternatives to creating holiday debt. What a gift!
