A Hundred Dollar Holiday Tradition

written by Rebecca E. Parsons

A Hundred Dollar Holiday – How To Create a Homemade Christmas
In December 2008, I started my own tradition of creating a hundred dollar holiday. At the same time, I joined the ranks of Squidoo…it is a fun place to voice your opinion…click the above link to get tons of information on creating a beautiful holiday celebration for less than $100. The tradition continues.

You want to make a memorable Christmas holiday for your family but you have no idea how to do it! We will explore ways to make a beautiful Christmas memory without spending a lot of money.

I have always been a make it, take it kind of person. There will be how-to’s, ideas, recipies, videos, and much more. New stuff will be added daily…so check back often!

Please share a favorite homemade idea, your family holiday traditions, or special things you do on Christmas Eve or Christmas day in the coments at the bottom of the page!

“So the reason to change Christmas is not because it damages the earth around us, though surely it does. (Visit a landfill the week after Christmas.) The reason to change Christmas is not because it represents shameful excess in a world of poverty, though perhaps it does. The reason to change Christmas – the reason it might be useful to change Christmas – is because it might help us to get at some of the underlying discontent in our lives. Because it might help us see how to change every other day of the year, in ways that really would make our whole lives, and maybe our entire 365-days-a-year culture, healthier in the long run.” Bill McKibbon – see his book below…read the rest of the article here…
