Money spent on Christmas

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money.

M How much money will most families spend on Christmas this year?  Almost $1,000.00.  We ask, “What is the ROI on that?  What is the Return On Investment for that $1,000.00?  Five years from now, is it treasure or trash?

V. Our family is focusing this year on sharing the meaning of Christmas.  First priority!  Reading the Christmas story before gift opening.  Sharing our personal story of the difference Jesus coming has meant to each of us.

M Time and money on gifts will be less. Time to focus beyond the glitter and gifts, priceless.Given all that’s shaken these recent months even years, this is an opportunity to focus on what matters, is timeless, the greatest gift ever given.
