A MOTHER from Anglesey has been dubbed “Mrs Christmas” after helping families save more than £40,000 ahead of this year’s festivities.

Christmas-mad Mandy Williams, 50, started saving all the way back in January for her own Christmas, but also helps friends and others in her community to save, too.

This year, she has helped 52 families save £40,420 with Park Christmas Savings, with every penny going on Christmas presents, decorations and food.

“Christmas is all about the family,” said Mandy.

“It’s a fun time for everyone but it’s great to see the whole family gather round my house for the festivities.

“That’s why I save with Park Christmas Savings, I don’t dip into my funds through the year so when Christmas comes around, it’s already been paid for!”

Mandy has achieved this feat as a Park Christmas Savings agent; the families she helps all put money aside with the Christmas savings club.

She encourages them to set realistic savings targets and supports them through the year.

Whether they need to increase or reduce their payments and targets because of changes in their personal circumstances, Mandy is there to support, advise and ultimately ensure all her customers reach their goals and enjoy the Christmas they deserve.

“The best thing about being a Park agent is how I get to help others through the festive period,” she said.

“Christmas isn’t always easy for everyone but by being a Park agent, I get to do my bit.”

Christmas-obsessed Mandy said her favourite festive film is Home Alone, and she loves listening to Wham!’s Last Christmas.

But her favourite thing about the season is spending time with her family, and enjoying Christmas dinner.

Her drive to help people at Christmas comes from the community spirit that she believes runs through Anglesey.

Mandy added: “I get all the family round and then get my sister to do all the cooking!

“When I give everyone their gift cards, they are very appreciative for the support I’ve given them to save - they buy me chocolates and flowers and make me feel great for helping make their Christmas special.”
