December 2017 Frugal Chatter thread (last chance to party for Canada's 150th)
If the month is not a 5-alarm fire budget month :eek: (when budgets go up in smoke) or a financial review/plan for 2018 month, aim for :icon_santa: being like Santa partying for Canada's 150th birthday one last time, holiday-style. Red & white theme (food or décor or clothing), activities, cool venue (cottage, party place, fave relative's residence, back deck, family room) and atmosphere (music? the outdoors' peace and quiet? carols?).
If the gift giving list is about to make you reach for really strong food or drink, shop for YOURSELF first and thank Santa as you wrap your present(s). Yes, you are a priority giftee!:top:
OK, off the soapbox and over to you, Smart Canucks! December is ready to roll out. I'm waiting for the appearance of the CIBC bank calendar soon.
