Creating a Christmas spending budget in January really made me conscious of where that money was going to come from. Also, the January-September months are so far away from when I do our actual Christmas shopping (Nov & Dec) that that money often times gets shifted towards other gift giving expenses, like birthdays. It's awesome.

Our monthly goal for Christmas savings is $100. That number includes gifts for our kids, extended family members, teachers, friends, neighbors, bus drivers, service people, our Christmas cards, stamps, and our donations towards the Salvation Army''s Adopt-a-Family program. To achieve this, I attempted a pantry challenge in August.
