It
happens
every
year:
You
set
a
budget
for
holiday
gifts,
but
quickly
realize
it’s
just
not
enough.
The
only
thing
worse
than
the
insane
crowds
of
shoppers,
which
descend
daily
on
the
mall,
is
trying
to
wrap
a
tight
budget
around
all
the
gifts
you
feel
you
need
to
buy.
So
between
the
crowds,
the
disappointment
of
being
broke,
and
the
stress
of
trying
to
make
this
holiday
the
best
ever
it’s
no
wonder
that
the
joy
of
Christmas
becomes
the
hassle
of
the
holidays.
