Planning around your Fridays
- Paydays. If you're paid every other Friday, you likely have about half of these paychecks left before Christmas. Knowing that number early makes it easier to set a gift budget you can stick to.
- Black Friday. The biggest Friday of the season is the day after Thanksgiving. See what Black Friday is and when it starts, then check the store ads and deals.
- Party nights. Office parties and cookie swaps fill up December Fridays fast. Book yours early.
- Shipping. Order online gifts at least a couple of Fridays before Christmas so they arrive on time.
