This free Christmas budget worksheet and related Christmas budget printables are all you need to manage your holiday expenses.
The holiday season is here, and for many families, it means spending more time together.
One of the most important things to do during this time is to keep track of your finances to make sure you don’t overspend.
This way you can enjoy your time with family and friends without worrying about how much money is left in the bank.
To keep the fun going and help you track your holiday expenses, I have created a Free Christmas Budget Spreadsheet and some Free Christmas Budgeting Printables for you to download.
Why do you need to budget and track your Christmas Holiday expenses?
Because it is easy to get carried away, spend money you don’t have, and go over your budget when shopping for gifts or entertaining guests.
With a little planning ahead of time, you can avoid these pitfalls by setting yourself up for success from the very start.
If you are still not convinced, then I have this data for you:
According to a survey by The Motley Fool, 21.5 percent of Americans go into debt because of Christmas.
If you are reading this, then I am sure you don’t want to be the one who falls into this category.
I am not saying that you should give up on the magic of Christmas and all the joy and cheer it brings to families and friends, but rather, I want you to enjoy your holiday season without going broke in the process.
And the best way to avoid going into debt during Christmas time is by having a budget set for your expected expenses, tracking all of your purchases throughout the holiday season, and avoiding unnecessary spending by setting up rules that you can follow consistently over time.

If you are a tech-loving person and like keeping track of everything on an excel spreadsheet, this is the Google sheet for you to download.
I love Google sheets (or Google docs) as they have an autosave feature. Believe me; this autosave feature is a lifesaver for my blog as I always forget to hit the save button.
What’s included in this Christmas Budget Spreadsheet Package?
This Christmas Budget Spreadsheet has 3-types of different holiday budgeting worksheets:
Christmas budget worksheet for gifts
Christmas food/grocery budget worksheet
Christmas budget worksheet for other expenses
The best part of these sheets is that they auto-calculate your balance once you enter your budget amounts and expenses.
As an example, I have put in a few random numbers for my budget and expenses. Once you are ready, you can delete these numbers and enter your own.
