Christmas is close

I'm happy to say, I am all done with my Christmas shopping and wrapping of said presents! I couldn't be happier. I hit the best deals for the best stuff so I won't have the pain of credit remorse. Nothing is more unsettling that putting yourself in debt to make others happy...basically for a day~ It just smart, common sense to go with a budget, look for sales, take coupons to the sales and purchase the things your family and friends really like and it doesn't hurt at the check stand!!! I think no one want's to hit the new year with crying wallets!!
I made sure that this year, I gave myself the blessing of paying off a couple of small debts. It felt liberating. Of course I really don't like to go into debt for anything, but sometimes life throws you a hardball, and reluctantly, you have to concede. But taking responsibility to paying those speed bumps off as fast as you can, is a gift to yourself. It's not a 'fun' thing-not so much a 'simple' thing.. but a 'wise' thing. And if you can give yourself some stress free by doing so-.....you can be more relaxed and can enjoy yourself better. Not to mention, it can open things up so your able to help others-if need be.
That in itself, is beautiful. Just make sure when you do that, you don't want something in return. Just do it out of love. No strings attached~

Love is the reason for the season~

My love includes Jesus Christ. He is the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place. Not all believe or celebrate Christmas. Everyone is free to make their own choice ( whether openly or in silence-as I know some in other countries or circumstances, have to be careful)
But everyone, no matter what you believe- deserves love in their life. The life-blood of existing.
This Christmas season, I wish you all- LOVE
                                                                      JOY
                                                                           LAUGHTER
                                                                                              and a massive amount of
                                                                                                    PEACE~
