1100 Holiday Cash Giveaway 2013 - Resized2We just finished up our $1,200 Fall Cash giveaway so we figured why not do it again? So today we have another big cash giveaway for you: we are giving away $1,100 cash. This is a huge prize that comes right in time for the Holidays.

The Holidays can be a time of financial stress for many. Expectations can be high for you to exchange gifts with friend and family, and all those gifts add up. My wife and I will likely end up spending over $500 on Christmas gifts :0 A cash infusion of $1,100 would be welcome in our house.

Instead of focusing on the high costs of the Holidays, I’d rather focus on the positive. One of my favorite things about the holidays are the many traditions that are made over the years and continue to be made. A couple of my favorite are:

  • Spending time with family – I get together with my family each Christmas and exchange gifts, eat a great home-cooked meal, and have fun catching up. We also go to church each year and it’s been a great way to remember the true meaning of Christmas – as much as retailers want you to think it’s about getting new stuff!
  • Taking a day off with my wife – My wife and I have had a tradition ever since dating to take a day off from the busy Holiday season and celebrate Christmas together. It’s not so much about what we do as it is about spending time together. We both work very hard and it’s great to stop for a day and truly enjoy ourselves.

I recently wrote a post sharing 5 Frugal Ways to Celebrate the Holidays. While the Holidays can be expensive, especially if you have to travel to visit family, it’s important to remember that there are frugal ways to celebrate.

On to the giveaway!
