Christmas Gifts: Making Your List and Checking It Twice
By Noel Jameson
Hey you! Yes -- you! Have you started your Christmas list yet? No? What are you
waiting for! You've only got a few weeks until Christmas is here.
Well, okay, maybe it's more like four weeks, but that's not a lot of time considering
the fact that you have to buy gifts for everybody from Amanda to Zelda and everyone
in between. If you want to make sure no one is accidentally left off your Christmas
list this year, you'd better start your planning now.
Why Do You Need a Christmas List?
Before you even think about buying Christmas gifts this year, you absolutely
have to make a Christmas list. Why? Well think about this...
You're at the family Christmas party and you're sitting there with your eggnog
and cookies and suddenly good old Aunt Sue walks in. Suddenly the blood rushes
from your face and you get a sinking feeling in your stomach.
You forgot about Aunt Sue! How could you forget about Aunt Sue?
What are you going to do? The stores are closed and you have nothing to give
her! What's she going to think? What's everyone else going to think? YOU are
the GRINCH!
Tsk, tsk, tsk... Had you started planning your Christmas list a few weeks before
Christmas, you wouldn't have forgotten dear Aunt Sue.
Back to the Present
Snap back into reality. It's not too late!
Christmas isn't yet here and you do have time to start making your Christmas
list.
As you can see, creating a Christmas list before you begin shopping is helpful
for a number of different reasons.
First of all, as we've discussed, a Christmas shopping list will help you keep
track of who you've shopped for and who still needs Christmas gifts.
Second of all, it helps you keep track of your budget. If you have $800 to
spend on Christmas gifts and there are 20 people on your list, you know you're
in trouble if you've got $200 left and there's only five people crossed off
your list.

So what are you waiting for? Take out a piece of paper and begin writing down
every person you need to buy Christmas gifts for.
As the weeks between now and Christmas go by and you remember names you forgot,
add the people to the list as you think of them.
When you believe your Christmas list is complete, make sure you ask your spouse

that you don't forget to purchase Christmas gifts for anyone this Holiday Season.
