Hard times can happen to anyone, even around the holidays. Even if you plan ahead and budget you can end up with things popping up that wreck all of your plans.

It’s okay! Christmas magic isn’t about stuff. You can still have a magical Christmas even without a lot of money to spend. That’s easier said than done though.

Gifts can help create some of that magic. That’s where rethinking Christmas gifts can come into play. There are so many wonderful gifts you can give to the people in your life for free. Sometimes they are the most magical gifts of all because they come from your heart.
