Why count in weeks?
Days are great for kids counting sleeps, but weeks are better for actually planning. You probably think about your life in weeks: paydays, shopping trips, work sprints. Breaking a holiday into a handful of weekly steps is how you avoid the classic night-before panic.

Paydays and budgeting
If you're paid every two weeks, you've got about 11 paychecks before Easter Sunday. Dividing your holiday budget by that number tells you how much to set aside each payday. For example, a $300 budget over 11 paychecks is about $27 each.
