[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is it that people are doing for Christmas that isn’t low budget?  All of the stuff people are mentioning (baking, looking at lights, putting up a tree, doing crafts, going to Church) seem like normal Christmas things to do.  What else are people doing?  [/quote]

A lot of the holiday lights shows - not driving around but things like the park based ones - are pretty pricey. ICE and other shows like that. Going to see at Nutcracker. All that stuff adds up, and fast.

That said, most of it can be replaced with similarly fun, free things. Alexandria's waterskiing Santa is free and a pretty neat performance. Driving around looking at lights - especially if you go to one of those neighborhoods that goes all out (there's one in Burke, for example) can be nearly as good as some of these lights shows. Strolling through a Christmas market is free even if buying stuff is not. There's free concerts like [url=https://www.eventbrite.com/e/alexandria-citizens-band-holiday-sing-along-concert-tickets-1081391223259?aff=ebdssbdestsearch]this one[/url] if you look around.
