Although we are not Christian, traditionally we, Hindus, do celebrate the Christmas. We eat special cakes, turkey, etc. on Christmas day. We light candles and many of us join the church ensemble. Naturally, we do exchange gifts for Christmas as well. We did have Christmas trees set up in our home every year during childhood.

Which runs on a basic principle of spending lesser than the earning, to take care for the retirement days, when earning stops. Rightly so, getting personal finance in order is also not a very difficult state to achieve, however chaotic it currently is in.

Personal Finance
