Sunday Round-up for December 26, 2010

Sunday Round-up for December 26, 2010

Funny thing, this whole Christmas fiasco: At a time we should be relaxing and remembering the true meaning of our lives, and how it surrounds us, instead we let the commercial side engulf us. Time is of the essence in so many important aspects of our lives. So, in honor of all the time-crunched individuals out there (including me), this weekly round-up is going to be short and succinct.

Here are some of my favorite posts I came across this week:

Get Me Through December” by Balance Junkie

10 Free Sites for Personal and Family Budgeting” by Canadian Finance Blog

Time to Sell Year End Capital Losses?” by Money Reasons

How to Profit in Gold” by Invest it Wisely

I hope everyone had a safe, exciting, and fun weekend. I look forward the “I Survived the Holidays” posts.

I did some shopping today to buy some stuff for the condo, but otherwise I think we escaped the consumerism aspect pretty well. We did a secret santa + a Christmas dinner and it really wasn't so bad.

For the hospital, my mother-in-law participated in a Secret Santa Elephant gift exchange. She received a zombie nurse mask covered with bird pooh from someone's shed. Ha-ha. I hope your Secret Santa gave you something nice. :)

I am not sure my first comment was saved. I just wanted to thank you for mentioning me. Our Christmas was peaceful and quite. In fact, I think it was the most relaxing Xmas we ever had. :-)
