Kate, about extra ornaments…string them on a ribbon or whatever and hang across the wall like streamers or wreathwork-or incorporate into the greenery. I’ve just got a very small artificial tree now that the kids are grown, but yes, the ornaments ate still important!!!
No liquid in the recipe? 😮
We eat out less than one time a month, except when we're on vacation.

I bought Christmas themed cookie boxes on Amazon (cardboard) and I will be making multiple batches of different types of cookies and giving those boxes as gifts. Who doesn't love homemade cookies? AND a variety?! I absolutely love receiving consumable gifts.

Try the local library for things you are going to use only once. My library has a free lending program – mainly tools and kitchen appliances – where patrons can take out an item for a week or two. Who knows, they might have a library table that can be borrowed? Gift Giving: Make it! Crochet it, knit it, macrame it, write it (I once gave a co-worker a story I had written about the office), whatever you do. When my twins were born 28 years ago I made a vow to myself that I would make them something every Yule. Wrapping: I use the same holiday bags every year and have for probably 15 years. Bigger gifts are wrapped in brown paper.
Let kids decorate the paper!
I have cancelled all holiday restraunt meals and all gift giving events!!! Done with it. Gonna do fun free holiday stuff!
We are doing homemade soup and simple sandwiches for dinners till January. Costs is 5.00 total for dinner!
Noticed your channel was at 35k subscribers ! Congrats Kate!!
We do take out when we have our stay home dates so we don't have to get a babysitter. Food is getting so expensive and we don't eat out often! I think our kids are eating more food…
