Know Your
Priorities to Make
Holidays Special!
Whether you celebrate Christmas,
Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or just the
beginning of winter, the holiday season
can be stressful with finances often
playing a large role.
Figure out what makes the holidays
special for you and your family, then
allocate most of your spending towards
those things. Maybe there are other,
less important things you can scale
back or skip. For instance, if you love
hosting a lavish holiday dinner but are
ho-hum about festive holiday clothing,
then repurpose an old outfit instead
of buying something new. Budget
more for your dinner instead. The key
is to set priorities and identify the
important things.
And remember that handmade or
homemade goodies, charitable gifts, or
the gift of time can mean much more
to a recipient than
store-bought presents.
If you do decide to
purchase some pricier
gifts, try to save some
money ahead of time
so you’re better prepared when it’s
time to shop. To help get ahead on
next year’s shopping, you can set up a
Christmas Club Account at Clearview.
Call us at 1-800-926-0003 or stop by
any Clearview branch. We’re happy to
help make each holiday extra special
for you and your family!
