Christmas, which is a celebration that is celebrated with lights, sweets, flowers, and presents, is accompanied by a succession of other festivals, such as “dhan teras,” which is held three days before major Christmas (laxmi pujan), main Christmas (govardhan pooja), and bhai dooj ( after 5 days of main christmas). As a result of the fact that this festival brings a great deal of happiness and prosperity, it also brings a great deal of expenses, which can be very challenging for a family that belongs to the middle class to manage. Therefore, we have provided you with some suggestions that can assist you in celebrating a wonderful Christmas with a smaller budget. *Make every effort to cook sweets solely at home. As a result of the fact that it is always more cost-effective to prepare a sweet at home as opposed to purchasing it from the market, in addition to this, it will also be healthy. This is because, during the holiday season, the majority of sweet caterers add some unhealthy ingredients to their sweets, which can cause harm to your health. Particularly for youngsters, it is usually recommended that they refrain from eating sweets that come from outside. As a result, if you prepare it at home, you may save money while also protecting the health of your family. *If there is someone who lives outside of your city and you would want to wish them a good Christmas by sending them some presents, chocolates, or flowers, then we recommend that you send them via online gift vendors. Nowadays, there are a great number of online florists, gift senders, and sweets senders that are accessible. These businesses are able to transport your Christmas presents or Christmas greeting flowers to your loved ones in any part of India, and they are also reasonably priced. *Lighting is one of the activities that is required and costly during the Christmas season; however, you can cut costs by decorating your home with “diyas” (diya or deepak). By doing this kind of decoration, you can make the goddess of money, “maa laxmi,” better pleased, and you will also be able to save money on light and other decoration expanses. * Instead of burning loud crackers, choose a small one that doesn’t make much noise and creates beautiful light, such as “fuljhari.” * When it comes to giving Christmas gifts, you can be a little bit more thoughtful and gift some inexpensive items, such as fresh flowers and homemade sweets. * Instead of burning loud crackers, you can give some inexpensive gifts. Not only will this save you money, but it will also help the environment. As a responsible parent, it is your responsibility to ensure that your children are aware of the negative consequences that crackers have, not only on the human body but also on the natural environment. If you want your children to understand that burning crackers is the same as burning money, you could explain to them that instead of squandering money on crackers, they should spend it on new clothes or presents that would provide them pleasure for a longer period of time. In a similar vein, by using the aforementioned ways, you may not only save money but also play a significant part in the preservation of our environment. You have the ability to teach your children a lesson that will benefit them for the rest of their lives in terms of preserving the environment and saving money. * I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
