Holidays are often an exciting time of year. Spending time with family, enjoying time off

work, and celebrating with family traditions are enjoyable activities. However, the holi-

days can also represent added stress due to the crunch on your wallet.

Have you ever looked forward to a holiday while worrying about how you will pay for it?

Have you even stressed about how to provide a fun experience for children without

breaking the bank? Decorations, gifts, and food expenses add up quickly.

The objectives of this lesson are to learn to develop a budget for upcoming holiday ex-

penses, identify ways to re-use and make decorations, and identify cost saving strate-

gies for specific holidays.

This November leader lesson is a mail-out lesson on “Managing Holiday Expenses:

How to Reduce Spending to Reduce Financial Stress.” Look for it in your mailbox

sometime in November.

“MANAGING HOLIDAY EXPENSES: HOW TO

REDUCE SPENDING TO REDUCE FINANCIAL STRESS”
