It’s that time of year again.

Well, actually, it’s not that time of year again. It’s the month before that time of year again.

Each January, usually around the time that the first credit card statements arrive in the mail or in your email inbox, you promise that next Christmas shopping season will be different. You’ll shop wisely. You’ll spot sales. You’ll avoid needless purchases and focus in on things people need. You won’t over-drink, over-eat, and over-spend.

In sum, you will beat the whole holly-jolly-fa-la-la-la-la-la-ho-ho-ho system.

And then you over-drink, over-eat, and over-spend.

Well, this year IS going to be different. We’re starting early and getting ahead of the curve — or, maybe, the wreath.

Here are plenty of tips to help you out.

Now, this year, I recommend you read through the articles and adopt the low-handing fruitcake first. Adopt the principles that are realistic for your lifestyle — and then revisit the harder ones next year. For most of us, incremental change is the easiest to adopt and the easiest to turn into positive habits.
