the
GUIDE TO SURVIVING
HOLIDAYS
The holidays are approaching faster than that pink slip you’ve been dodging. Your kids or loved ones are expecting the “perfect gift” this season, and all you can do is hold your breath. Do not fret or explain to your family that Santa is only visiting houses that start with an even number this year. There is a happy medium where you can still have a merry holiday and not appear to have gone amish. With these financially savvy tips you’ll be able to enjoy the holdays, even if you are on a buget that only a graphic designer could have.
