Charlie Brown Christmas
Don't know about you ... but I like the classics. And you can't get 'em much more classic than A Charlie Brown Christmas. It could be CB and Linus going to get that dinky little tree, or Lucy being a psychiatrist and a pain in the tookus, or Snoopy entering that lights and display contest ... I never miss it, bub. A cartoon special like that doesn't come around much anymore.
You know what else is classic? Cash. Saving money was "in" before credit ever stuck its ugly head out of the snake hole, jack. Working hard and earning that extra cash never got anyone in trouble with collectors. I started saving for my holiday budget back in July, and I'm sweating Christmas about as much as an Eskimo in January. Just a little saving at a time adds up, big-time. Do that in savings for presents, retirement or pretty much anything else, just like Dave Ramsey says, and you'll win with the dough, baby.

Last Christmas was the first year we said "no borrowing money" for gifts. It was a bit tough to do but we did it. This year it's a little better but it will still be tight. I have to remind myself and my kids that Christmas is not about getting or even giving gifts to eachother. It's about what our Savior gave us. His gift was enough to last a lifetime. I am so thankful that our family was introduced to Dave Ramsey. He has caused us to see the error of our ways and start the journey towards financial freedom. Dave Ramsey is much of what I talk about on my Time To Budget blog.
Couldn't have said it better myself, baby.
