Buy a fake tree
The tree may be fake, but the saving are real. For some families, going out to the forest and cutting down a tree or finding one at the tree farm is a sort of tradition. But for other people, especially those who live in areas where a Christmas tree may cost more than $100, they may like the tradition of saving money.
Luckily, you can purchase a fake tree through us, and your visiting in-laws never need to know you didn’t spend that money on a tree. of course, they might get a little curious when you tell them you didn’t water it because it told you it’s not thirsty,

Just remember, this is a holiday to reach out to others, and the more you save money the more you can do that.
Limit Your List
Along with not self indulging by buying that new dress or those new golf clubs, select those people for whom you will buy gifts. You may want to show your best friend’s Aunt Sally how much you appreciate her, but she will appreciate a card.
Of course, speaking of Aunt Sally, you may want to make a list of people you intend to buy gifts for, people whom you will buy greeting cards for, and those you may just call or send a text or email greeting card to.
While the art of letter writing is all buy extinct, people will also appreciate receiving a letter in the mail from you. The thought that you took the time to writer the letter, print it out, put it in an envelope, spend money on a stamp, and put in the mail will show them how much you value them.
