1. 💰 Determine Your Financial Goals - The more specific, the better. Do you want to save during this season, pay off debt, or just learn better money-spending habits? 

2. 🕜 Set a Time Frame- Consider how long you want to try this challenge. Maybe start small and grow from there.

3. 📜 Make the Rules - Determine what you can and can't purchase.

Although ‘no-spend’ sounds frightening, it’s about pairing down your expenses and only buying the necessities.

1. Talk about the spirit of Santa instead of the man himself ❤️

Giving is at the heart of Christmas (and Santa). Instead of focusing on everything Santa does, focus on what he stands for. That way, the spirit of Christmas will never end.

2. Listen to Your Child 👂

Kids are often smarter than we give them credit for. Most children stop believing in Santa between the ages of 7-10. If your child is starting to question Santa, you can decide whether or not it’s worth it to keep up the charade.

3. Watch Movies 📺

Movies like Arthur Christmas or The Santa Clause help children see ‘behind-the-scenes’ of the magic and understand how Santa does it. Movies are one of the easiest ways to keep Santa ‘alive.’

4. Ask Your Child What Santa Means to Them 🎄

Ask your little one if Christmas would change if they learned Santa isn't real. That way, you can proceed with more information. 

5. Find Out Why They’re Curious ❓

Some children are just curious, while others might have been told something. Knowing why your child has doubts will help you proceed wisely.
