57 days before Christmas.
These coming Christmas,i wont be receiving any bonus to buy new clothes and gifts for my family and friends.Unlike any other Christmasses that's pass this one will be my poorest Christmas of all. :-(
That is why i am thinking of ways to earn extra money before Christmas,so my relatives and friends wont get mad at me :-( because they are used to receiving gifts from me every year.. :-)
Since i love to cook and somehow cooking loves me too.I will be making "Leche Flan" and "Maja corn" ,delicacies that surely is a hit on or before Christmas season,and then sell it here in our place.
Are you thinking of making extra money for Christmas?If yes,how will you do it??

Yes,gift giving is fast approaching and I will start doing my crafts too,as i am used to give gifts that are handmade and i do it myself.

They will get mad at you, that thinking is not right. True friends and relatives will always understand your situation, you just need to be open and do not keep it within you. Since you know how to cook then cook something for them, just make it nice as you present it inside a box with colorful cellophane and then make it funny by saying "sorry, I am poor this Christmas" and that will make them laugh and happy instead. A simple note that explains well. Your effort will surely be highly appreciated because you still give your best just to make them happy.

Hi! You're not the only one hoping to make a little extra cash for the holidays and afterward. :-) Can you cook for your church and make a little extra that way?
I like to bake myself and just finished a cake for my daughters school and hope it'll lead to something but if not....there will be a way and I did have fun doing it!
Be well and happy cheffing!

Thanks! If you have any suggestions on people to bake for (nothing is happening!), let me know!

Surely will..
Churches here in our place have their cooks since they all have schools in it so i guess that is not possible.. :-)
Our neighbors likes ordering delicacies because they are not so fond of cooking and that is to my advantage .. :-)
Have fun cooking and baking too.

I am also into baking and I am currently selling brownies as part of my extra income. It's not just because Christmas is near but I am already thinking of just setting up my own business.

I am hoping to find a job where I can work on my days off or after work . I think it will be hard to find as I have not come across anything yet. I am hoping to find something just temporary like Christmas holiday help but have not seen any opportunities so far but keep looking, asking and searching everyday. I have a lot of bills and want to get my debt down

We don't get bonus' at our current jobs and only one of us got a raise this year. Our family knows not to expect too much from us as we try to focus on the kids having a good holiday.
Since you like cooking soo much how about making those mixes in mason jars as gifts?

Hi Tamirs, fortunately Christmas is not an important festival for us here.
But Chinese New Year comes right after Christmas.
I just hope to have more money from online sources so that I can buy more things for this important festival.
I think many companies are not giving out bonus this year.
Hopefully we can still enjoy while living on less.

Hi Tamirs, unfortunately mooncake is only available around mid autumn festival.
We have other things during Chinese New Year.
All those sweet cookies, and my favorite is pineapple tarts.
i think I am going to put on weight again!
It is hard to ignore all the delicious food during the festival.
Actually right from Christmas to Chinese New Year, it is eat, eat, eat all the way, and then after the season is over, we will worry about weight.

I bet your DIY crafts will sell great! People love homemade things so I'm sure that will bring you in a lot of extra cash. :) I think in order to earn more money for the Christmas season I'm just going to be doing a lot of work online and saving any money I find elsewhere. I hope you have a great Christmas and have great success with selling!

I am sorry to hear of your dilema of not having the money to get your friends and family the things they need.Do your baking like you said and if you are a crafty person make things for them I am sure they will like it because it has come from you.

I too need to make some extra cash to buy things. But Specially i want to earn some extra cash to purchase some gifts on Black friday since everything goes pretty cheap. I want to spend a good amount of money there and have some extra money before Christmas. My family knows i don't have a outdoor job so they don't expect expensive gifts from me atleast something small. I don't buy gifts like i feel like i have to but because i actually mean it.
The fastest way i know to make money online is to do many offers in the site i have in my profile since they pay you withing 1 day maxiumm 3 days. You can also try saving money and not spending a lot of money if you do.
Good Luck My friend! Stay in TOUCH!

Hi, yeah, it always gives us a nice feeling whenever we could give christmas gifts to our loved ones.. As for me, that's where my 13 month pay would go... buying gifts for loved ones.. I would love to earn extra income so I would have more to spend for the gifts..

I cannot believe that Christmas is coming so soon. I have some money in my paypal and alertpay account which will help me buy presents for my husband. I will be making homemade gifts for my husband's family, my grandparents and my sister. I am also looking for deals either online or in stores. I am also looking for a job for the holidays in hopes that I can make some money.
My husband and I had lost the house and we are living with family so that has been saving us some money. I am hoping that we can have a good Christmas this year.

Although there are no any specific plans for this Christmas but I would try to attain some goals for earning online because I am wasting my time online from past 3 years and I haven't even earned a single penny yet.
So I will make some goals like making $10 or $5 from any methods online. That will be enough for me if I really earn something.

Hello, I want to earn extra money too for Christmas and I have no idea what to do since I am busy at my new job. HUhuhuhu... I want to give presents for my loved ones too especially for my mother but I think, I can't give her an expensive one and this makes me sad. Huhuhuhu.. Anyway, there will always be Christmas next year. I really do hope that I can save a lot of money next year. I hope my finances would get better by next year.
Hmmmmmm.. Are you planning on selling those leche flan and maja to earn extra money? That sounds great! Surely, you will earn much with that because as you say, the food loves you and you love to cook. Perhaps, your food tastes really good. Yummy! I hope I could taste it. Hehehe.,. Anyway, if your money isn't enough for all of your relative's presents, just tell them that you will just give them their presents next season. Assure them that you will double their presents. Hehehe.,.
