[quote=Anonymous]There are many threads from last year.  Go to Google and google dcurbanmom Christmas and terms like budget and "low cost" as a phrase.

I am here to put in a plug for cutting out paper snowflakes from white printer paper.  This is one of the things that has added the most joy to my Christmas in the past 10 years. My younger son loves this.  It used to be a common elementary school craft but I don't see it much anymore.

Home Depot might be able to give you a discount on a tree at the last minute.  Once we got one for free on Christmas eve because the college age kid in front of us was told he could have any tree for free.  Another year when pickings were slim, we got 50% off a tree because it had a big bald spot on one side that required a corner positioning.  But I agree a nice used one would do.

Kids can appreciate food for Christmas.  The two year old might like Quaker Dino Egg Oatmeal.  It has little sugar eggs that melt to reveal a tiny sugar dino.  Exotic snacks, like blue corn chips, might be fun for an older child.

I wrote on another post about low cost ideas for having a Mexican food dinner as a holiday treat.  That might be relevant.

I agree with library booksales.[/quote]
