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!
