The Holidays are A'comin!

Yes, it's that time of year where the weather gets crisper, people come together to celebrate candles and turkeys and fat men in red suits and little babies. It's also the time of year where we are trying to stretch every last dollar to cover expensive meals as well as giving presents to everyone we know.

Why not use the time bank to make the holiday season a little less stressful!

Have company coming over and you have no time to clean? Have a time bank member come over and make your house shine! Or maybe you were so busy cleaning that you didn't remember to make the lemon bars? Find someone on the time bank who offers that skill and see if you can simply buy a pan of bars from them with time dollars! Or use someone's offer for fiddle lessons as a most excellent Christmas present! Or maybe your Aunt Hilda would love a Reiki treatment...use the time bank!

Another way to use the time bank: Have your entire meal made by different time bank members! Search the marketplace for people offering to teach cooking/baking skills. See if they would be interested in preparing a course for your holiday meal. You could arrange to drop off the ingredients at their house and pay them in time dollars for the time they spend preparing and delivering the food! Imagine, a five course meal that you don't have to stress about!

So, destress this most stressful time of year by checking out the time bank marketplace!

MOVIE MANIA!
