In numerous cultures all over the globe, Christmas is a time to indulge. Civilizations around the world celebrate Christmas as a time for lavish indulgence. As the primary commercial holiday of the year, companies begin selling Christmas products and playing the Jingle Bell music as soon as Thanksgiving is over and sometimes earlier! Deluxe department stores including Sachs Fifth Avenue and Macy’s design exceptional window displays illustrating signs of Christmas in a brilliant show of glitter, snow, and red and green striped candy canes. Even countries like Japan, which is not considered a Christian country, find the holiday spirit and load up on gifts for the Christmas season. I guess the spirit of giving is irresistible even when split from its religious roots. The spirit of indulgence which Christmas brings upon us is not only extended to the gifts we give, but it branches out to encompass the ornaments we see all across town and best of all, the food we enjoy! Have you ever meandered through neighborhoods at night just to marvel at all of the Christmas lights on front lawns and roof tops? And how many times have you given yourself a belly ache with all the Christmas treats you ate at the holiday cookie exchange? These are all elements of Christmas which have become a custom and they are all about adding enjoyment to our lives in the gloomiest part of the year. Christmas is a time to celebrate life. In a religious context, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of God’s son on Earth, Jesus Christ. Even those who are less religious choose Christmas as a time to celebrate the company of their loved ones in their life. Christmas is a time for gourmet living as I have said before. Everything from the dishes you eat to the decorations you put up to the presents you give displays the season of the holiday, but they are not without cost. In difficult economic times, we see individuals limiting their Christmas spending and making necessary sacrifices to save money. Some people choose to buy an artificial tree to save themselves the expense of buying a new one each year. Others select energy efficient Christmas lights so they will have a smaller energy bill at the end of the season. And some individuals decide to forgo purchasing the store bought honey baked ham and to cook a chicken at home instead. No matter how your family chooses to save money this season, there is no reason why you should have to decrease your gift giving just to save money.
