A Collection of Favorite Christmas Ideas & Stories

by Kelly Crawford

We have a winner for the beautiful turquoise ring giveaway! Congratulations to Allison Barracco!

 

I hope you enjoy the collection of “Christmas Past” as I collected some favorites and put them all in one place (well the Pinterest board is new)!

Simple Christmas Series: Easy Holiday Dishes

Giving Gifts

Saving Money During the Holidays

Practical Ideas for Relieving Christmas Stress

Christmas Ideas & Money-Saving Tips

My Pinterest Craft & Gift Idea Board

Frugal Christmas & Blessings in Disguise

And–oh my goodness!–I had forgotten about this post. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did rediscovering it. Christmas is Not About Peanut Brittle (It’s so weird seeing our old house. My 5-yr.-old actually said, “Mom, where was that place?”)

Last idea: Wrap presents without spending money…

  • use brown paper bags, turned inside out–decorate with ribbon, raffia, leaves, pine cones, fingerpaint, etc.
  • use sheets of old music
  • use old maps
  • use old fabric
  • use old wall paper
  • Tuck gifts in basket, unwrapped

This year I am using empty feed sacks for gift wrap. They are made of brown paper and we are going to paint them with large stamps and handprints in reds and green.
