A Frugal Christmas??

I usually make things for gifts anyway, but this year I will be doing more. I'm starting earlier and watching for sales more closely, too. I think we'll have a good Christmas but it will be more work than before. It's all good, though.

I still haven't figured out what I am going to do for Christmas presents-- or even who all I need to get presents for.

Well, it really depends on how things go. I'll ptobably bake some things, if I find I can build something for my Mom, or sew something that'd be awesome. But overall it just depends on what I can find for a reasonable amount of money (church sales, thrift, dollar stores, anything usually under five bucks. Lol).

We are doing a cheap Christmas this year. I bought some picture frames earlier this year on sale for a great price and I am printing up some photos to put in them. We will also be making, and baking a lot of the neighbor gifts. Christmas has a way of adding up very fast so I am trying to keep a better hold on it this year.

This year, everyone will be getting very cheap Christmas presents, if I even give them out. I'm expecting my baby before Christmas, so I probably won't be doing any traveling, so I'm not sure how everyone will get their gifts because we live in different cities.

I not a baker. In fact Im a terrible cook. But I was thinking about that the other day. Its been hard this year so I going to read what you all are doing and maybe I can grab some great ideas..thanks

I will bake things for some of my friends, and make a few baskets of baked things for my husband to take to work or to his friends' places. I am going to knit a few gifts. We are saving up our points and we will use them to get gift cards which we will use to get some gifts. We have a budget for some gifts which we will buy, but other than that, I am trying to be as resourceful as possible.
