I would start decorating for Christmas in August if my husband let me. He doesn’t so I win another way… we tend to keep up our decorations until February! Seriously, I’m a little in love with Christmas.

We don’t go all out, or even fancy at all.  Most of our decorations are handmade ornaments and other simple things the girls and I have made through the years.  I’m all about having Christmas joy without the fear of the New Year’s bills.  So here are some simple decorations you can do on a budget.  Most will only cost a few dollars or are things you already have around the house!

Bring the outside in and dress up all the cabinets (or least a few of them) with items from nature. Totally free!

Put a Christmas tree in every nook and cranny of the house.The skies the limit on trees really!  Grab old books, ribbon, anything you can find can become a tree…

While you are busy adding trees, don’t forget to add more snow.  Become a master paper snowflake cutter.

Our all time favorite though is finger knitting our own garlands.
