Avoiding being a Scrooge

Tina Dupuy reposts a commentary she wrote last year. Why do we spend so much money on Christmas, especially in years when we don’t have much? We've been told that "not giving on Christmas is a moral shortcoming." We don't want to be accused of being a Scrooge. Because of that, "We’re a nation of Bob Cratchits who are terrified of being Scrooges."

But Dupuy reminds us, "Scrooge is rich."

So don't be hard on yourself and send yourself deeper into debt if you can't give a lot at Christmas.
