“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” or is it?
Some of you have already begun humming the tunes while others are avoiding any sight of snow or holiday cheer for another month or more. I’m typically a December 1st Christmas enthusiast, whereas my husband Michael has already been implanting the famous carols in my mind.

Though you certainly don’t need to rush this beautiful fall away, our guest writer, Jennifer Hare, shares a few excellent tips to get you prepared so you can enjoy this Christmas without emptying your wallet to do so.

Shaking Things Up this Christmas
My parents never let us say that we were bored growing up. We had plenty of toys and things to do to entertain ourselves. We had friends in the neighbourhood. We really didn’t have an excuse. It used to annoy me when they said that, but now I’m so grateful that they did. I had to get creative as a child. I think it helps me now as well. There’s very rarely a moment that I’m lost in what to do. There’s always something.
