24 days to go!!!!!!
Are you getting excited?!?! I am. I love the holiays! The kids coming home, decorations, grandbabies, and lets not forget the food and snacks!!!!
Frugal Tip for Today!
Christmas Cards!!!!
Do you stress out about them? I use to. All the writing and mailing. The long periods of writing bothered my hands. I have carpel tunnel in both wrist so it could get painful at times.
Now I keep a basket by the couch full of cards and envelopes. As I watch Christmas programs, I will sign a few and leave the envy blank. Then as we recieve one I can quickly write out the address on one and send it on its way!
For family friends that are close by I will hand deliver them while I am running errands, sometimes adding a small plate of homemade cookies or candy.
Yes, you can send e-greetings thru email, but I find these very impersonal and would rather suck up the cost of stamps. I do however, hand out as many as I can.
I buy our Christmas cards at Goodwill. (can you tell I love this store!!!) Brand new boxes for a lot less then the store!! If you get them half off, you can store extra boxes with your holiday decorations for the next few years. One less thing to worry about next year!!!
Remember your three R's!!!! Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!!!!!
