HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED GIVING A VACATION AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT?
Many people often struggle with the idea of buying our kids and loved ones more things – the truth is, most of the time they don’t need more stuff.
There are many reasons why a vacation could be the best Christmas gift you ever give your family. Here are the top reasons to consider it!
1 # Core Memories - Memories Last Longer Than Stuff!
2 # Experiences are greater than things!
3 # Educational - There is so much to be learned about the world around us.
4 # Clutter - Do your kids really need another Barbie or Lego set?
5 # Could actually save you money!
If you budget properly, you can pay off your holiday over a few months before you go. This way, you avoid the excitement followed by three months of bills, which often happens at Christmas and can really dampen the new year. By doing this, you can enjoy the Christmas season without the threat of debt!
Get the whole family involved – if anyone asks what to buy for your family, suggest a gift card to the destination you’ll be visiting. If you’re taking a cruise, you could ask them to gift an excursion.
Stress-free holiday. You will have so much time to bond and grow together that it makes everything worth it. You get the opportunity to know each other on a deeper level, which is the best part of a family vacation, no matter where you travel.
People who understand that experiences are greater than things are happier people.
Call or message me today to discuss your holiday plans.
Stay Tuned this month as we discuss all the awesome vacation ideas to make your holiday season even more jolly.
