Holidays turn into headaches and heartaches.
The shopping season is swinging into high gear. But, unfortunately, the holiday spirit may turn into unexpected headaches and heartaches for some because of imprudent shopping. With the emotion of the holiday season, it's easy to fall into the trap of shopping with your heart and not with your head. But, in this case at least, there is no Santa Claus, and such purchases should be made with a post-holiday budget in mind. When buying toys, keep the age and abilities of the child in mind.
