Though some of this things make part of our tradition we can avoid them for the New Year   comes along with our usual responsibilities.

Usually during this season there is a tendency of people incurring a lot of expenses due to the kind of life style only associated with this season but this festive season can be unique by avoiding a number of things which include:-

Travelling

Christmas holiday is usually associated with family gatherings out of town and this gathering do not come cheaply.   

Travelling during this season is very expensive and tedious because the cost is double the usual amount and since there many people also travelling then it means there is competition for space in public transportations.

On the other side since the drivers are working on maximizing income this season it means that they will not keen on following traffic rules and there is increase accidents. Usually this is the period when there is increase in deaths due to road accidents. With or without having your own car travelling this season is very expensive and these expenses can be avoided by not travelling far.

Shopping early

Usually this season is associated with buying gifts and without been keen we end up spending too much because there is competition for those gifts and every one is doing last minute shopping. In order to reduce the cost of shopping one can try to buy gifts early enough when there is no rush or competition.

Avoid on sale offers

This is season of maximizing profits and no offer which means that the sellers are not making profit. It only means that the profit margin is reduced but gained again due to the large volumes sold. The cost is the same the only difference is that now you will not be buying one but more due to the offers.

No shopping with kids

Most of this malls target kids in this offers and they make sure to capture their attention as soon as they enter the malls. So if you are accompanied by kids you will end up spending more than intended as they collect whatever is enticing them and is on offer.

Junk foods.

People ensure that they observe what they eat all year through to forget about everything just to enjoy the holiday. They feed on anything they can put their hands on only to complain later that they have added a lot of weight in a short span.

Eat well and make it your policy all the times there should be no season of eating junk.

No silly drinking.

This season people tend to experiment with drinks they have never tasted before or even mix drinks.

What results is one drinking her/himself silly and misbehaving something that may haunt   one for many months or forever.

The reason that people end up drinking themselves silly is because they are on holiday and they can afford to nurse the hangovers.

Minimize on catching up with old friends

This catching up means travelling and spending and not spending quality time with your family. It may mean an old fling been rekindled which may result to hurting your family.

Do not spend your savings.

No matter how tempting it is do not let your budget spill to your savings as this would mean starting the New Year on debts or struggling. Remain within the budget always.
