A Home-Based Business Might be the Best Gift for Yourself this Holiday Season

MARSHALL, Texas--(Business Wire)--
As we enter November, many of us are struck with the stark reminder that the
holidays are just around the corner. Those who are organized may have already
started setting money aside to use towards purchasing holiday gifts. But, with
the teetering economy, others may find it difficult to save necessary funds for
holiday gifts and other festivities this year. 

"We all want to be able to provide a fulfilling holiday experience for our
children, relatives and friends. But, in today's economy, it will be difficult
for some people to set aside the same amount of money as in years past," said
Heather Chastain, president of Celebrating Home, the nation's largest direct
selling home décor company. "I'm glad to say that the direct selling industry
has been a life saver for many, including me. I am able to contribute to my
household income and make money for the holidays, without having to sacrifice my
personal responsibilities and time with my family." 

The U.S. unemployment rate is nearing 10 percent - coming in at 9.8 percent as
reported last month by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics - and the need for
additional income is getting stronger as people become jobless or are faced with
a reduction in salary. An update on the unemployment rate is reported to be
released November 6. 

According to Chastain, you can be a stay-at-home mom looking for a way to earn
income while managing family priorities, a retiree looking for a stress-free way
to earn cash, or an empty nester ready to make new friends and extra income, and
benefit from a home-based business such as by Celebrating Home provides. 

Celebrating Home was founded on Christian principles, with the purpose of
helping people take control of their lives, both spiritually and financially -
all while achieving healthy and fulfilling life-balance, Chastain said. Guided
by this purpose, the company offers an income opportunity where women across the
nation can achieve the American Dream by bringing families together with
home-related entertainment and decorating products that are designed to be
affordable.
