Everyday Cheapskate 40-Day Christmas Challenge

The 2026 40-Day Christmas Challenge is Live!

Christmas has a remarkable ability to go from “plenty of time” to “how is it already December?” when nobody is looking.

So this year, we’re getting ahead of it.

The 40-Day Christmas Challenge gives you one small, useful thing to do each day to help you spend wisely, save time, reduce the last-minute scramble and make more room for the parts of Christmas you actually enjoy.

Here’s How It Works

Sign up and I’ll send Day 1 straight to your inbox. From there, we’ll take Christmas one day at a time.

Start When You’re Ready

There is no falling behind here. Start today. Take longer on a day when you need it. Skip something that doesn’t apply to your Christmas. Combine a couple of easy days.

Christmas is not grading you.

Along the way, we’ll tackle things like:

  • deciding what really matters this Christmas
  • setting a Christmas spending plan you can actually live with
  • making a gift list before the shopping starts making decisions for you
  • planning food before the grocery store gets involved
  • getting ahead of shipping, wrapping, guests and holiday logistics
  • knowing what to skip, simplify or stop doing altogether
