Instead of spending money on decorations this year, try making your own. Their are tons of free printable crafts available on the internet. Get the kids involved (if yours are old enough) and make it a great way to not only save but also spending time together.  Another great idea for those who are hosting dinner is to print some  activities for the children to do so they have something ro occupy them instead of them finding something themselves which spells trouble!
