If you are close to a park with pine trees or pine trees maybe you can collect some pine cones and use them for decorations.  You can spray paint them different colors (Christmas colors) and maybe pray them with spray glue and sprinkle sequence or glitter on them to make them look for festive.  Another idea is getting red ribbon at the Dollar Store or Wal-Mart and making bows to put around the house.

Oh oh......I have a good one. After coming off of the holiday season a good way to wrap it up would be to analyze Christmas Carols. For example.....\n\nHave you ever really wondered about santa after listening to "Santa Claus is coming to Town?" He sees you when you're sleeping? He knows when you're awake? Almost makes him sound like a stalker!\n\nJack frost nipping at your nose? Sounds like a social issue to me.\n\nFolks dressed up like eskimos? Is that honestly politcally correct? \n\nDon't even get me started on "Rudolph." there are a million fun things you could do with that one. \n\nJust think of some funny or questionable lines from christmas carols and have fun playing with them. It could honestly be hilarious! Good luck!

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? \n\nEgg nog. But I really like Hot Buttered Rum best of all.\n\n2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wrapped, with the prettiest paper possible.\n\n3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? \nWhite on the tree, colored on the house.\n\n4. Do you hang mistletoe? \nSometimes.\n\n5.

What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? \nI do a heckuva darn good turkey, with fresh herbs and aromatics.\n\n7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: \nDecorating the tree every year. The one time my sister and I could manage to work together, and equitably.\n\n8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? \nI never believed in Santa.\n\n9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?\nYes, all presents opened on Christmas Eve. 'Santa' leaves treats and small gifts in our stockings by the fireplace.\n\n10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? \nA variety of the lovliest ornaments I can find, in rich colors and sparkly, and then a sprinkle of gold angel hair instead of tinsel to give it a shimmery glow that isn't gawdy.\n\n11.

What tops your tree? \nA point that is round at the bottom and then ends in a spire. It's red with gold glittery lace decorations. \n\n18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? \nGiving.

The very best gift giving ideas I've come up with came from www.thinkthoughtful.com.\nI always try to do something personal, but I'm not creative! I guess a painted rock isn't romantic...my husband loves tools. I thought this was horrible-I wouldn't want kitchen appliances, why would I give tools?! He told me that Home Depot is for him what the jewelry store is for me. It makes his heart sing!! So, I go with that and he is like a little boy on Christmas morning. It's about what makes it wonderful for that other person. Good luck and have fun!

Make some hot dogs in buns with polymer clay.  Also make some miniature popcorn holders...the red striped things.\n\nHow about laminating some baseball cards and putting those on the tree.

Do you have a special talent? For instance, I bought a dozen plain colored christmas ornaments, a paint brush and a few paints, and painted things on the ornaments. Then I personalized them with the receivers name and the year. I started 17 years ago, now I run my own business. I never knew I could paint, I have never taken a class. Its worth a try. Do you have a service you could offer? Make up decorative cards and offer your services for free. Babysit, cook a meal, clean the house. Wax the car, etc. One year, my brother didn't have the extra cash, so he donated 5 hours of community service to each one of us siblings. For Me, he worked at a soup kitchen, my sister is big into animals, so he worked at the local shelter for 5 hours. I think he worked picking up trash for my other sister on the road she lived on because she was into the epa. Theres so much you can do with out money that means so much. Use your imagination. Most of all, have fun with it. You might find that the gift of your love and time is the best gift you will ever give, and the best gift someone can recieve!! Happy Holidays!!

I like to put a little bit of greenery on my dresser in my bedroom and add a few candles. You can also dress it up with a few ornaments. I also put up a wreath in the bedroom and put a winter quilt on the bed. \n\nI also like to take clear glass vases or bowls and add white lights or ornaments or both and place them around the house. Sounds kind of goofy, but if it's done right, it really looks neat.\n\nFor a cheap way to make your house smell like Christmas, get a pan of water and add cloves (whole or whatever kind you have) and cinnamon (Sticks or ground) and any citrus fruit that you might have. Turn your oven on low and the scent will fill your home. I love the smell! You can add some vanilla too. Really just add any spices that you like and omit any that you don't!

Pick a color. Match your tree to the room it is in, or coordinate it. \nGold is gorgeous, so is silver. I personally like to mix green, red, and white.\nPick shiney ornaments, or glass ones. The lights of the tree shine through the glass ones, very pretty. Shiney ones reflect the light. Both pick up the light from the room in the daytime.\nPick a theme. I saw a tree decorated with painted wooden ornaments, like toys, boats, trains, soldiers, very cute, it had multi color lights. . Saw one in tartan plaid. Another was all snowflakes and icicles, clear lights. Saw one in all angels.\nThe style this year is all one color ornaments and lights, with big ornaments.. \nHere is a trick, buy some bigger, longer ornaments for the gaps in the tree[and the bottom], and some smaller ones for the middle of branches, and smallest ones for the top, and very ends of the branches. I coordinate the color of the end ornament to match the ornament on the branch, it draws your eye there.. I buy some of those little glass balls, that come in a plastic round package, so many for a couple of bucks.\nAnother cute trick, I tuck a small angel, or a doll, or a Santa face in some of the gaps, and I love to do so at eye level. People get a start when they come close to the tree and there is Santa looking back.\nI have a pink tree, a cardinal tree[the bird, not the baseball or football team], and a big whatever tree.\nI admit to having some Waterford Crystal ornaments. I play with the lights behind them, so they shine through the ball. It is spectacular, you can see the glow clear across the room.\nLast year, Good Houskeeping magazine, Martha Stewart, Better Homes and gardens, all had xmas trees, and ornaments. Type Christmas tree into your browser, I did. also ornament.\nHope this helps. Merry Christmas.
