I'm very excited to see loved ones in person this holiday season and my pent-up good cheer wants to go out and spend a bunch of money on everyone on my list -- including the stray cat living in my backyard. She does her job of catching varmints, so why not?
It's easy to overspend. Now, with so many ways to pay, I find it hard sometimes to keep track of my expenses. So, here's a list of other ways to celebrate that I made for myself after reading some articles. I hope they can help you as well.

These are just some ideas. I am sure you can come up with many more! Feel free to add them in the comments.
