I love the Christmas season. Everything about it. The cooler weather, decorating the house, gathering with friends, good food, giving (and getting) gifts.
Really, if you don't enjoy the holidays, I am not someone that you would want to be around.
We haven't started putting up the Christmas decorations yet, but we are making plans about what we want to do the same as in the past, and what we want to change.
We, also, start saving money for Christmas gifts during the summer, so we are doing pretty good on the gift budget. (Now, if I can just stick to it!)
Any way that I can find to save money over the holidays is appealing to me. I want everything to be festive and fun, without breaking the bank. So, of course, I turn to Pinterest. Where else would I go?

It makes so much more sense to make your own tags. You can get exactly what you want in the number you need. For years, I had half used sheets of those sticker tags left after Christmas, and didn't want to use the same ones the next year!

These are all great ways to get you thinking about different ways to save money during the holidays. And, creating items at home is one of the very best way to do it. And, when you create your own decor and wrapping, you can really put your own personal stamp on your Holiday season.
