Even those who are thrilled at the sight of snowfall, get a rush of excitement at the dulcet tones of Bing Crosby, and start working on their Pinterest board of gifts in, like, September—who, in short, LOVE the holidays—have to admit: they get very expensive, very quickly. Between flying across country to visit friends and family, doling out bottles of wine to party hosts, and shopping for gifts for everyone from your ultra-picky boss to your “no-really-I-don’t-want-anything” dad, the end of the year can take a toll on anyone’s bank account, no matter what it is you might be celebrating.
