Hey friends! I hope you all had a great Christmas! :)
If you're like me, now that
the holidays are over you're thinking of next year. Sometimes all those ideas that you see
during the holidays can get lost in the shuffle, because well let's face
it, you're busy. Now that we are
into the new year and are at a lull of the holiday season for a bit, now's
the time to be planning on how to save for next year. Especially since you probably just put all your Christmas decorations away and still know what you have!
Planning ahead is a great
way to save money. Holidays can be
expensive so I brought Stephanie on board to share some ways to save while
still celebrating the spirit of Christmas.
We believe that we spoiled you already with
generously sharing all the tips and tricks on how to make the best out of
holidays while still staying on the budget. Well, guess what? We will continue
to do so.
And how can we not want to do this when
Christmas is just around the corner. How to make sure that your little ones
will experience a true magic of Christmas without having to spend so much money on fancy things?
Since you already made Halloween super interesting without
having to delve into your pockets too deep, we strongly believe that you’ll
make your own Santa come down the chimney by simply following some of these
tips.
Holidays are beautiful but they are around
only once a year and it’s good reason for you not to spend too much on brand
new decorations for your Christmas tree every time. Instead of exclusive
shopping in big malls and shopping centers for decorations, visiting thrift
shops and hitting garage sales if any in your vicinity may work well for your
budget. Also, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will get the products of
lesser quality.
With a little bit of imagination and
creativity, you can even go for various DIY sets and try making your own
decorations instead of buying new ones. Apart from the fact that
this will be good for your wallet, it may even bring the family together and
supplement to the overall Christmas spirit in the house.
At the end of it all, holidays are about
getting together with your family, isn’t it?
Once again, Halloween is no longer here so you
won’t have to worry about the treats. However, having all kinds of sweets
around your house will certainly supplement the festive atmosphere in the
house.
Better yet, you should put your culinary
skills to the test and try making some homemade delicious Christmas treats. Serve them around the house so every
visitor can get a good snack when they decide to visit your lovely home.

Keeping the Christmas tradition and arranging
for a visit from a Santa is almost imperative for every family blessed to have
kids around the house. While Santa’s can be quite busy (and costly) during the
busiest time of the year, you may want to shop for a Santa outfit and arrange
for some of the family’s friends or relatives to fill in Santa’s shoes.
It might sound a bit funny but it can actually
work quite well as someone who knows you and your little ones can roleplay much
better than someone from the outside. Also, you’ll have all the time you need
to work on the Santa’s visit and the
entire scenario.
Last but not the least, it will cost less. You
may need to return the favor (maybe return the visit dressed up as Santa), but
it’s all part of the process. Most important thing is to make holidays
unforgettable to your family and to have a good and pleasant time.
Can't wait to hear all about the new Christmas ideas you try!
