With December upon us, you will start to see some of my Christmas posts popping up.  Christmas seems to start earlier and earlier each year and, although I love Christmas, I am not a fan of all the hype starting before December! 

I think that it just encourages people to spend more and more, without adding up the total cost.  Research by The Money Advice Trust shows that around a third of Brits go into debt to pay for Christmas.  With the average credit card debt per household already sitting at over £2600, according to The Money Charity statistics in November 2019, it is hugely worrying that a third of people are now adding to this debt to pay for Christmas. 

Please have a look at my Christmas posts, which are all designed to help you spend less, without compromising the fun and pleasure that Christmas can bring.  

£100 for an advent calendar?  Really!!

When did Christmas get so stressful? 

Does social media make you spend more?
