5.0 out of 5 stars A humorous and informative read.

Great book with practical advice on how to fit Christmas into the tightest budget with a punch of humor mixed in. Cherie makes what can be a dry topic, saving money & budgeting, into a humorous and informative read. Reading this ebook was like spending the afternoon with a wise friend over coffee. I came away with great tips and a can do spirit. Highly recommend this ebook to anyone trying to tighten their Christmas budget.

4.0 out of 5 stars meaningful tips that support the Dave Ramsey plan
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015

The author uses the Dave Ramsey plan, but does much more than just plagiarizing his work. She uses her own family's story to give meaningful tips in how to work within the constructs of our society to make a debt-free holiday tradition. I found great tips, and valuable encouragement on my own cash holiday journey.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK

Nothing new or exciting for me in this book. As another reviewer said, it is basically a free book that serves as an advertisement for the author's other books. There is nothing wrong with that, of course, but it just didn't have any content or tips that were new to me.

The free book is actually about 70 percent of the book, and it focuses primarily on the holidays. This is followed by reviews for the book the author wants you to buy and an introduction to that book. She appears to have written another book also, with one more to be released in 2018.

While I applaud the author and her husband for handling their debt, this book didn't appeal to me.

I am giving it three stars because it may help others, but I would advise anyone deep in debt to avoid paying full price for non-professional financial advice. There are tons of free online resources and free to borrow library books.

A tremendously timely book full of practical ways to approach the holidays in less stressful and more meaningful ways. Don't delay purchasing this book -- it's an easy read and there are plenty of ways you can apply the advice yet this season...not just to save a few bucks, but to also approach the holiday season from a fresh, more pleasant perspective.

Simple to read, great advice on not going into debt this Christmas or really any time of the year. We all would do well to follow the advice in this quick read and stay out of debt. And by all means don't let December 25 cause you to use plastic to purchase things.

3.0 out of 5 stars Was not expecting a sermon

The was book was ok enough. It had a few useful tips to help you stay on budget for the holidays. Mostly though, the book served as an advertisement for the author's other book. Plus, in many tips, she says baking something would be a great gift because it's economically smart. But then in the tip about homemade gifts, she says you shouldn't craft or bake because it costs too much. Uh, what? Lastly, I was not expecting so many references to Jesus, prayer, or bible verses. I feel that should have been included in the description of the book.
