Jingle Bills | Christmas Spending Survival Spreadsheet

Christmas is magical. The bank statement is less committed to the bit.

Jingle Bills is the OFBS Christmas spending survival spreadsheet for anyone who wants to enjoy December without spending January wondering who authorised all that festive financial damage.

This interactive planner helps you set a realistic Christmas budget, track gifts, food, events and all the tiny forgotten costs, then shows you exactly what is planned, what has actually been spent and what is still left.

What’s inside

• Festive Financial Damage Dashboard with planned vs actual spend, remaining budget, overspend warnings and live progress.
• Gift Control for gift ideas, planned budgets, actual costs, bought/wrapped/given status and overspend flags.
• Christmas Costs Tracker for decorations, travel, school or creche costs, wrapping, postage, hosting, clothes, batteries and the inevitable mystery expenses.
• Food & Events Planner for Christmas dinner, drinks, family days, work nights, kids’ events, hosting and more.
• What If? Scenario Planner so you can test category cuts before the credit card starts making executive decisions.
• Next Year Sinking Fund to calculate how much to save monthly, fortnightly or weekly for next Christmas.
