This week I’m sharing with you my best ideas on how you can make this Christmas a frugal and a more joyful one.
Today, is frugal Christmas idea #5 - Start a frugal tradition
If you normally go out to a fancy brunch, spend $100 each on your girlfriends, or if you break the bank every year buying lots of gifts for your children or grandchildren, here are some fun, frugal traditions you could try this year instead:
Drink hot cocoa, then walk around the neighborhood to look at the lights
Host a Christmas cookie exchange
Celebrate with a Christmas movie night, complete with popcorn and candy
Volunteer somewhere as a family
If you have little kids or grandkids you’ll be spending time with during the holidays, snuggle up on the couch with a stack of books and read Christmas classics.
Time spent with family, friends, and those you love most is so much more meaningful and memorable than giving them stuff, and if you’re thoughtful about the activities and traditions you do together, you can be frugal at the same time!
That’s it for today. Thanks for listening. Tomorrow, we’re going to recap the week and I’m going to give you a little preview of next week’s theme.
