Here’s a big help if you want to get a jump on Christmas shopping.

Wal-Mart is bringing back an offer it last made five years ago. The retail giant will once again have a layaway plan for the holidays.

Wal-Mart says they're bringing it back because their customers asked for it.

With the program, a customer makes a deposit on an item and pays over time until it is paid off. Once it's paid for you can take it home.

Right now the layaway is available for the holidays but there's no word if they will extend it after that.
