I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but let's face it, our economy in the US is in horrible shape right now, and many of our pocket books are suffering.

But I say don't despair. There are ways around this sort of thing. Patti Wigington at About.com: Paganism/Wicca has written a lovely article on how you can cut your costs this Yule.

1. Make a Budget

3. Shop Early
4. Trim the Trimmings
5. Don't Buy Yourself Stuff
