Christmas is Coming, the goose is getting fat...(contest continues)

Well, we don't eat Goose around here, but a great big turkey will do the trick. The Christmas Season is fast approaching (only 86 days) so there are a few things I've decided to start doing. At the beginning of the year I started saving for my "Freebie Christmas" And I have done quite well, though I know of others (on Frugal) who are doing wonderful. I have over $300 is giftcards and free Items that I have received to put towards my freebie Christmas. Unfortunately, that's not quite enough. My "Freebie Christmas" can be tracked on Our Family Christmas Blog. Throughout the season I will be posting many crafts that I come upon over there as well.

I have started a cross stitch Christmas Stocking for my son, It has is picture on it. Yesterday I picked up The Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Ideas magazine and it has a lot of great Ideas for crafting through the holidays and wonderful gift Ideas too. You can sign up for "100 days of holidays" From Better Homes and Gardens and get daily emails of great crafts and recipes for all the upcoming holidays. As I do some of these crafts, I will post them on Our Family Christmas Blog, so make sure to go over and check them out. (If I do them well, I may be able to give a few away as well.)

I also went to our local used book store and purchased a bunch of Martha Stewart Christmas magazines from the past. I do have to admit, Martha Magazines are timeless. There isn't a Tacky thing in those and some of them are 12 years old.

I have started my Christmas Card List, as well as my Christmas Gift list. These get longer every day. I am always on the hunt for unique gifts and cards to send out to family and friends. So if you come across something please direct me there.
