The sooner you get started the less you'll spend. I know it is July. That's the point. If you do a little bit starting now, you'll take away a lot of the holiday stress, and you might spend less, as well. Here's an idea: Create your gift list. Then divide the total number of gifts you need to buy by 20. Deter- mine you'll buy that many gifts each week. You'll reduce the job of Christmas shopping to bite-size. While you're thinking about it, con- sider these great ideas from other "Everyday Cheapskate" readers: SAVINGS SANTA. Starting with the very first Friday of the new year, I opened a new online savings account with my bank and set up an automatic transfer of $20 from my checking to my savings every Fri- day. I didn't miss the money each week because I already had adjust- ed my budget to do without it. By the end of the year, I had more than enough money to buy holiday gifts for my friends and family. This was great for me because, unlike in pre- vious years, I didn't have to rely on my credit cards! It felt amazing to know that I didn't have any extra debt from buying gifts. -- Brooke K., New York DRY STORAGE. Start saving now -- dryer sheets, that is! Those used dryer sheets that are still soft and sweet-smelling make perfect wraps for delicate Christmas orna- ments. I simply stuff them into a collection box during the year and have lovely sweet- smelling decorations year after year! -- Sally L., Georgia CARD CARRIER. I love receiving cards throughout the year, especially the Christmas photo cards that have become so popular. I keep many of them, but I struggled with what to do with them. I bought small picture frames at the local dollar store. Throughout the year, I cut out pic- tures on the cards and display them in various areas of the house. That way, I can enjoy seeing friends and family all year long. They brighten my day and put a smile on my face every time I open a book to read! -- Darcy B., Kansas EXTRAORDINARY ORNA- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate MENTS. When my sons were first born, I started buying them orna- ments each year when I traveled or saw something special. The boys used to find them in their stockings, and each year, we would put them on the tree. When my eldest son got married, I presented him and his bride with all his orna- ments. It was wonderful to see all the special orna- ments on their first tree. I already have my other son's ornaments ready for when he gets married. I have continued to add to their collections every year. They look forward to open- ing their stockings to see what they will get. -- Sheila M., California Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
