- uses old glass bottles from drinks and turn into candle holders (make it a group about 3 or 5)
- use wine glasses as candle holders either placing the candle in the glass or turning it upside down and putting the candle on it's base
- the glade plug in refillable oils the scent apple cinnamon - pour some in a old pan with water and boil....your house will smell like you baked. Cheaper then buying oils at the body shop.
- Leading up to your house make Ice Lanturns - in A two liter milk contain with the top cut off fill with water. As it's about to freeze put a wine bottle in it. Freeze outside. When you ready to use. dip in hot water...pull the bottle out and place a tealight inside. Have coming up your walkway outside. You can even place orance slices inside the water.
-make a snowman, snowangle
-volunteer at a soup kitchen

- string the holiday cards you receive accross your window

-scraps of fabric or felt and cut into Christmas shapes. You can do this by using cookie cutters or templates. Then attach them to twine, wire or ribbon and use for garland all over the house or on your tree
-String popcorn
-Put some vegetable oil on a rag and polish red and green apples. Place in a bowl and fill in the spaces with greenery from outside)
-take some pictures you have hanging on the wall and wrap them like presents and put them back on the wall
-Go to any place that sells Christmas trees (tree lots, Lowe's, Wal-Mart, etc.) and ask for the branches and cuttings that have fallen off. They are usually glad to get them off of their hands since they're just going to throw them away. Besides using them for decorations, try tucking them in and around your artificial tree to give it that fresh tree smell.
- buy your tree after December 15 or closer to Christmas it will be cheaper
- older ordaments tired and old - spray paint with gold, silver, or copper
- stuff tissue paper in your tree with just simple bulbs in it
-hang stocking on a mantle or high wall (check out the dollar store for these if you don't already have)
-Attach beautiful Christmas decorations on a plastic shower curtain. Make sure, not to use breakable ornaments; use only plastic or wooden ornaments to adorn the curtains.
-Decorate your surroundings by hanging mistletoe everywhere. Mistletoe is reputed to bring along good wishes and blessings for the season.
-Try to display varied colored glass decorations in round shaped vases or bowls, instead of hanging them around.
-Embellish your computer screens with beautiful Christmas wallpapers and screensavers.
-wrap your plant pots with red or green colored foil wraps
-- turn the tv on to that fireplace station that they start up in December

String garland (gold looks good on almost any room) at the top your wall, all the way around the room. Take some white lights and string them in with the garland. Buy long gold candles at the dollar store and candle holders (you can find Christmas holders now there) and bunch them together on all the tables (3 or 4 on each table).
You make Wreaths for your friends. Buy the plain green wreaths at Walmart (about $2.00 each) and decorate with ribbon and puffy glitter glue and bows.
Organize a school or neigborhood toy drive. That will really get you in the Christmas mood.

Making salt dough ornaments is a little messy but fun! There are lots of country craft decorations that you can make at home.
I like making paper snow flakes and taping string to a few of them and hang them from the cieling. It looks like it's snowing giant snoflakes inside! You can even get craft foil and do the same thing and get sparkely snow flakes!
Have fun and Merry Christmas!

How about going to church? It's free (unless you want to make a donation), and gives you an idea of why we celebrate Christmas.

There are many healthy fruits and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables like broccoli and kale contain calcium and are packed with fiber.
