There is a lot of temptation during the Christmas season – which seems to begin earlier each year – to spend money, even if you don't have it. Lots of people believe that Christmas season is only a "spend money season".

False! Beside the reality that for this time of year we really spend a lot of money for Christmas Gifts, house Christmas decorations, ornaments, lights and all necessary to make us, our families and friends to feel the Christmas spirit, this season is also a very opportune time to earn money. This is a good time to step back, time out, and think about money and the role that money has when it comes to our personal happiness, and the well being of our families.

The truth is, no matter what the news may tell us otherwise, many people are still feeling the effects of the recession, and many Christmas stockings are going to be empty this year, and that's a pretty sad fact for all.

Want to learn a couple easy ways to turn your intellectual acuity into cold hard cash for the holidays? Continue on below as I share a few of my favorite (and super simple) strategies for earning a quick thousand bucks before Santa shows up.

Find here 3 GREAT ideas how to make money for Christmas:

1. Who else wants to make some extra cash by helping Santa out this year?

Santa letters are a great way to generate needed income for the holidays and throughout the year.

The wonder of Christmas includes those magical letters from Santa Claus to small children. But here's a secret: Santa doesn't really have the time to write every single letter! He needs your help and by helping him, you can earn a little extra holiday cash in your spare time!

The Santa Letter Business Guide has everything you need to know to start your own Santa Letter business…as soon as:  you've got a computer, a printer and a Post Office, you've got nearly everything you need to profit from creating and sending letters from Santa to children all over the country (and maybe even the world!)

2. Make beautiful Money Origami Christmas Decorations. Perfect for Christmas trees, cracker fillers, table favors, stocking stuffers, room ornaments, gifts and more…

Money Christmas star made from dollar bills. The Money origami Christmas star is an excellent paper Christmas decoration star made out of 5 or 10 real dollar bills. It's perfect to sit on top of any Christmas tree.

You don't need to have any experience in origami as the instructions are simple to follow and quick to learn. All you need is 10 dollar bills, a little bit of ribbon and a lot of festive spirit to get started.

Pay 5$, get 25$ and even more! It's deal, right?

3. Are you an outdoorsy person? Or do you dream of traveling for months at a time? Or maybe just someone who appreciates long periods of down time. Whatever the reason, starting a holiday lighting business may be the answer you’ve been looking for.

While working only 3 months out of the year might seem like a pie in the sky dream, it is in fact more attainable than you probably think. This fact is known by many professional Christmas light installers from around the world.

In most parts of the world, the house Christmas decorations and holiday lighting markets boom for a little less than 3 months leading up to Christmas and then die off for the rest of the year before picking up again after Halloween. Therefore by operating a holiday lighting business you have roughly 9 months (or more in some places) of free time before your work season begins.

You will learn here how to start your own 6-figure Christmas Light Installation Business, get flooded with clients, and make more money in 8-weeks than most people make all year!

With any of these House Christmas Decorations Ideas you can bootstrap your success and quickly create a high-income business and dream lifestyle!

Urgh! I just reminded myself it’s my birthday in a month’s time. Ever since I was young I’ve hated birthdays. They’re not a cause for celebration; they’re a hurdle of chronology that once you get over marks you down as another year older.

My mum is the only person who remembers my birthday and I’m hoping once she forgets that will be it, I will never have another birthday and therefore not get any older. At least that’s my plan.
If I happen to get anything for my birthday I like to get gadgets and useful thingumabobs. I have a friend who sends me bizarre things that she finds in swap meets like Soviet space pencils or more personalised gifts like a mug that she painted herself that shows a tiger chasing himself around it. Quirky presents like that I like, it’s things like slippers or hokey ‘multipurpose’ wotsits that fail to perform even the most basic tasks for which they were supposed to be designed that tick me off.

Don’t you find that if some-one buys you a present and it breaks, you feel guilty? The person who gave it you aught to feel guilty! It’s like they are saying “I bought you this, it’s useless and a bit cheap but that’s what I think of you!”
Or perhaps I should just get over my hatred of Birthdays.

Given the way I think about birthdays I bet you can guess my opinions on Christmas can’t you? All the shops seem to start gearing up for Christmas earlier and earlier. I have seen Christmas trees outside some shops and ‘Book now for Christmas’ ads in restaurant windows as early as September. I still go to the beach in September! But if you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas always try and remember to get the person the kind of gift you’d get them any other time of year. A plastic nodding Santa doesn’t say “I really appreciate you”. It says “I couldn’t think of what to give you and this was the first thing that came to hand”. For the sake of harmony at Christmas, if you can’t just ignore it until it goes away, please get presents that show you cared enough to think about the recipient.
Ho Ho Ho.

Does anybody know an amazing gift for a 13 year old? [not an iPod]

Does anybody know any Christmas songs?

Does anybody know any websites that have free down-loadable Christmas games for my cousin?

Does anybody know where I could buy artificial snow for my Christmas tree? [cuz, if I buy real snow, it my melt before Christmas, or it would get really hard, and it wouldn't be snow, it would be ice].

Thanks
