Have Yourself A Frugal Little Christmas

December 6th, 2007 by Kyle

Me with our Christmas TreeMy wife and I are really trying hard this Christmas to cut back on spending and instead focus on the many blessings that we have in our lives. As much as I love to shop, I just hate getting those big credit card bills in January. We are still buying gifts for everyone on our list, but we are just dialing it back a bit so we don’t over extend ourselves financially. On a similar note, these new lyrics to an old Christmas favorite came to me in my dreams last night. Enjoy!  :-)

Have yourself a frugal little Christmas,
Let your credit cards bills be light
From now on,
our debt will be out of sight

Have yourself a frugal little Christmas,
You’ll make your savings gay,
From now on,
overspending will be miles away.

Here we are using coupons,
Happy dollar stretching days of yore.
Faithful budgets who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will learn to live well within our means,
If the Fates allow
Throw those catalogs upon the highest flame.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
