Christmas jobs are a great way to take on a second job without committing to anything on an ongoing basis. Christmas jobs are, by their very nature, seasonal. If you want a Christmas job, it's best to start your search well in advance of December. Many employers start hiring in November -- in the US, the day after Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days for retailers.

Christmas job ideas include:

• retail
• customer service centers and call centers
• tree farms
• bookstores
• post offices
• gift wrap and customer service jobs at malls
• catering -- staff a buffet, clear tables, serve nibblies
• babysitting and childcare
• housesitting
• pet sitting
• dishwashing
• temp agencies
• mailing houses (many companies rush to send out business Christmas cards)

And, as always, my list of second job ideas still applies.
