Try to plan for Christmas throughout the year. It makes it a lot easier to grab a bargain when you see it, rather than spending a huge chunk of your budget over Christmas. If you only spend at Christmas, you end up facing everything in the New Year - other bill like the television license, council tax, etc. It does make sense to try to plan for Christmas throughout the year. I shouldn't, however, pay into special Christmas savings schemes of any kind at all. If you have money to spare throughout the year, pay it into a building society and get the interest.
