Are you one of those people who plans well ahead, do you leave things until the last minute, or are you lucky enough to have someone else who plans ahead for the whole family?

Planning ahead can save a lot of money and frustration. Here is our guide to help make your Christmas planning easier.

  • Decide where you are spending Christmas and who you will invite.
  • Set budgets for gifts and entertaining.
  • Make a gift list and to-do list.

* 10 & 11 December  - second weekend before Christmas

  • Housework and garden work if you are entertaining at your house.
