Funny Money Friday: Holiday Haiku Contest

Money doesn't have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.

Cmasbel December starts today and along with it the somewhat panicked countdown to Christmas. The holidays are notoriously dangerous times for consumers trying to stay out of debt, under their credit card limits and away from identity thieves. Don't let financial worries cloud your holiday cheer. Instead, channel your frustrations into a haiku!

CreditBloggers.com is running a holiday haiku contest all week long! Haikus are short poems with a 5 syllable line, 7 syllable line and 5 syllable line.  You can read more about haiku online here. We're looking for haikus with a holiday theme and, of course, mentions of credit, debt and other personal finance topics. Here are two examples to get you started:

Holidays are here
It's time for cheer and shopping
Debt for the New Year

Visa, MasterCard
Credit cards love this season
Deck the halls with debt

Enter your haikus in the comments section before the end of the day on Thursday. The winners will be announced next Friday and will receive free copies of the books Credit Scores, Credit Cards and Identity Theft. Over a $20 value and perfect for stocking stuffers!
