Making a Little Christmas $$$$

Good afternoon!  Today I want to share a few of my favorite ways to save money for Christmas. 108 days and counting....






OPINION OUTPOST

My favorite survey site ever.  Easy to use and easy to get paid.  You are paid in points and every 10 points = $1.00.  Rewards begin at $3.00.  My personal favorite is 50 points for a $5.00 gift card to Amazon.com.  To date, I have cashed out $52.60 and have $21.00 to spend right now.  Also, every referral you make (not me) is worth $5.00!!  Personally, I convert all my points into Amazon.com gift cards to use towards Christmas. (You know they'll have free shipping near Christmas too...Yipee!)  Just click the ad above or the link below:

SWAGBUCKS


This is my favorite search engine.  Using it to search is the easiest way to win "Swag Bucks" which can be used to earn gift cards and lots of other items!  There are many ways to win Swagbucks such as surveys, coupons, Daily Deals, Daily Polls, games, etc.  You can also earn Swagbucks by referring friends also (I'm not sure how much).  Every 450 Swagbucks will earn you an Amazon.com gift card for $5.00; 700 Swagbucks for $5.00 cash through Paypal.  Just click the ad below or the Swag Buck Widget on the upper right side of my page.






There are other really good ways to learn a little cash in the comfort of your own home.  Look for more ideas about saving and making some money for Christmas.  Now a little bonus to bring some cheer into your day!

The Birth of Jesus

Luke 2: 1-21

 ¹ In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. ² (This was the first census that took place while^[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) ³ And everyone went to their own town to register.
 ⁴ So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. ⁵ He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. ⁶ While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, ⁷ and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
 ⁸ And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. ⁹ An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ¹⁰ But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. ¹¹ Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. ¹² This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
 ¹³ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
 ¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
   and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
 ¹⁵ When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
 ¹⁶ So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. ¹⁷ When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, ¹⁸ and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. ¹⁹ But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. ²⁰ The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
 ²¹ On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.
