Finance Advent Calendar: Day 15

by bigcajunman last updated on December 6, 2018

On Day 15 we renew an important part of Advent and for end of year finances, so we open the box and find a kettle.

The Kettle is a sign of the Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal, and in general is a symbol of Charity. Charity is important every day of the year, but at Christmas when some people seem to think Overspending is the norm, remember there are some folks who are not as lucky as us, and maybe you need to think about them too.

Charity a cornerstone of Advent, and of living a good life.

On the finance side of things, your charitable donations are deductible for the current tax year up to December 31st, so keep that in mind too (make sure you choose a charity that is recognized by the CRA if you are going to give to get the deduction).
