It's the season for cookouts, gardening and going to the pool. It's also a great time to begin setting aside money for the holidays.  As with many things in life, preparing and planning before you begin makes things easier. It is no different with financially preparing for the holidays. The holidays are a time to gather with family and friends and when we get caught up in the excitement, we spend more than anticipated. Planning ahead of time can save you financial and emotional strain.
