The Philippines’ 2022 holiday season is now in full swing and many Filipinos are already roaming their favorite shopping malls looking for gifts for their loved ones. Christmas gift-giving is a tradition in which Filipinos express affection and appreciation through gifts for the people they hold dear.
Puritan’s Pride, a renowned manufacturer of high-quality vitamins, minerals, and nutritional supplements is making the holidays extra special with their campaign Care Together. Puritan’s Pride proclaims: “Being together and caring for our loved ones is the most precious gift we can give as we express our thoughtful love for each other’s well-being. When we are there for our loved ones, it shows we care. And for Puritan’s Pride, there is no better way to say “I care for you” than by giving someone the gift of good health.”
The Christmas holidays may very well be one of the most expensive season of the year. It is very easy to go over-budget with all the parties to attend and the gifts to buy. I did not even mention the funds you need to set aside for the food you and your family will consume during the most festive of months.
Fortunately, you do not need to break the bank that much to have an unforgettable Christmas holidays. Here are a few money tips and tricks you may want to consider to make the most of the yuletide and still save up this holiday season:
Create a budget
It is very easy to lose track of your holiday spending if you will not create a budget. Make sure that you prepare a list of all your holiday spending. Include in your list everything you will need to make a budget for. This may include your Christmas gift shopping list and your December grocery list. You may very well throw in your airfare or transportation expenses for your holiday travel into your list. You should also include tips for delivery crews or parking lot attendants in your list.
Stick to your budget
Of course, it does not end with just creating a holiday budget. The second and most important part of it to make it effective is that you need to stick to your budget. You may go a little over your designated budget for each item on the list, but make sure you are still near the ball park figure to avoid going bankrupt, or worse, in depth of debt, after the holidays.

The Christmas season is also the best time to teach children about charity and helping others. What better way to demonstrate that than by giving out gifts that actually help save lives.
