I also do some Christmas shopping way before or after. That includes the decor. Never tried that on yard sales though. Maybe I should.

I like the suggestions especially on listing decorating ideas! That should prevent impulse buying.

I've found unbelievable amounts of Christmas decor for sale at truly dirt cheap prices by going out to yard sales and garage sales during the hot summer months. Some people all but give the decorations away when the holidays are not really on their mind. One tip though, make sure you test lights or moving figures before purchasing them. .-= Chris´s last blog ..Gone with the Wind Plates =-.

I have decided that every week until Christmas we will visit a thrift store and let everyone choose a decoration. I think it will be a great way to have a uniquely decorated house. Of course I do have the ruling vote on what the kids pick! .-= shelle´s last blog ..priorities =-.

Each year my children make a new decoration for the house. They are very simple and not very costly. I hope that as adults I will be able to pass them on as I get them to make two, one for them and one for me.

Awesome article. I love the simplicity of the ideas. At our house, we really enjoy using the same decorations year after year. I also like simple big decorations like a tablecloth or wreath rather than small knick-knacky table-top stuff.

I love this series and I LOVE decorating for Christmas. My 4 year old is already talking about what she wants to make to beautify the house, so homemade is definitely top on our list. Definitely not Southern Living, but my girls will love it. Thanks for the reminder to shop thrift stores...I think I hear the Goodwill down the street calling my name! .-= Paula@Motherhood Out Loud´s last blog ..Guest Post at Steady Mom =-.

I have a handmade christmas wreath made by one of my aunts. I reuse it yearly in our christmas decorations. .-= Dominique´s last blog ..Weekend Reflection- Planning Ahead =-.

I can't wait to decorate this year because last year as I began packing up all the decor, I decided to donate nearly half of it. I kept only the items that meant the most to our family. Since I have two boys in college, we'll decorate together the day after Thanksgiving while my little girl plunks out Christmas songs on the piano and we all sip hot chocolate. It will all be done in less than two hours. So much simpler than the days of old when I decorated for days, which left me exhausted and crabby. .-= Amy Dunn´s last blog ..$1 chicken dinners at Boston Market =-.
