You want to be able to give your children, your friends, & your family the best Christmas. You want to be able to shop for amazing gift that will keep their mouths fall open. You want to be able to lay out the best service - turkey, ham, roast beef, roasted vegetables, sweet cake, pavlova, work ... And most important - you want to give them a Christmas to remember.
But - electricity & phone bills bills are also due this week - so ... what do you do? Well of course you have to pay the electric bill, so the decor, food & gifts will just have to wait ...
There are several ways to get around the problem though:
They always say you can get the kids involved - get them to make their own crackers, & decorations. But - I will not be pretty this "say" up - generally this method will cost you more. You'll pay about $ 2 for a six pack of crackers in the street. If you do this in isolation - you should buy is installed (the bit that goes BANG center), paper to make them, knick-knacks to put in it, a paper to fill out etc. .. crackers? Sure - you can get the kids involved - just do it wisely - they can make a card from the paper (with a felt-tip pen, etc.) - but things are generally more expensive luxury than in the shop - remember that.
You can get cheap meat (chicken instead of turkey, etc..), Side (kumara instead of potatoes), and deserts (bread & butter pudding is not trivial) - but this is something you want to do? If you usually have a "traditional Christmas", it would be a let-down if you have less food.
And ... You can get a little pressies - there is nothing wrong with this - you can buy a sack of $ 2 pressies (or even $ 10 pressies), and the kids will enjoy them (probably not your teenager - but the young will never know the difference ).
So - what do you do? You only have to spend the money unfortunately. There are two ways to do this:
a) Get your friends & family to donate money and have experience of joint co-natal (we personally did this & it worked out great - we have a "family" Christmas where everyone contributes something).
b) Get a loan, or cash advance. There are several companies that will do this - so you can do a lot of online shopping for gifts, food & decor. Just do a google search for "apply for a loan online" or "apply for a cash advance", and you will see many companies are willing to help you out. Of course, you should try to avoid this size. That will only end up getting you in more debt. If you are just looking for something to tide you over (until you get the next payment check), by all means - go for a cash advance. But the loan money is dangerous, so be very careful!
