If you are someone who will be celebrating the Christmas season, you might want to try something different this year. There are a variety of options available for ways that you can celebrate Christmas this year depending on your mood or inclination. Options may even be mixed and matched for a more personal holiday.

Green Christmas - for those who desire a more eco-friendly holiday, includes giving of recycled gifts (either from a thrift store or made from a recycled products).

Traditional Christmas - for those who only give homemade gifts and pull out all the old traditions, including coal in the stocking for those who were bad.

Debt-Free Christmas - for those who want their cake but don’t want to pay all next year for it! This includes budgeting and money management skills but don’t worry you won’t have to cut back.

Shop till You Drop Christmas - for those who don’t care how much they spend or what they buy as long as it is expensive. This involves shopping every day the stores are open until Christmas.

Put Christ Back in Christmas - for those who shun the commercial aspects and want to restore the holiday to its more humble origin.

Family Christmas - for those who will be traveling to visit family near and far to share a number of Christmas dinners.

No matter what your current traditions are, take some time to breathe this holiday.
