Holiday Travel on the Cheap

One of the best parts of the holiday season is taking the time to visit family and friends, far and wide, that you may be unable to see at any other time of year. But with the price of airline tickets, hotel rooms, and rental cars at a premium, and long lines, delayed flights, and cancellations plaguing travelers during the busiest travel season of the year, contemplating leaving home, even to see loved ones that have long been absent, can be the furthest thing from your mind.

Frugal Holiday Fun for the Family

When the kids are home from school, you have time off from work, and everyone is cooped up in the house because of cold weather, it probably won’t be long before the whole family starts to get a little stir crazy. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you have the extra cash to blow on a family vacation (or even a trip to the movie theater). If you find that, like many families right now, you are short on cash approaching the holidays, you may think that watching the snow fall is just about your only option for entertainment.

5 Ways to Add Romance to the Holidays

The craziness that surrounds the holiday season (shopping and shipping and hosting, oh my!) can easily leave you too pooped to pop. So when your honey comes around looking for a little romance, he or she is more likely to find you sawing logs than setting up aromatherapy candles. How can you infuse your holidays with a little romance when your stress levels have reached maximum capacity and your last nerve is ready to jump ship?

5 Great Holiday Movies to Watch with Your Family

When the temperature plummets, frost forms on the windowpanes, and the snowflakes begin to drift lazily to the ground; when you step outside and see a mist of breath in front of your face; when you have to pull down the boxes of mittens, scarves, and long underwear that have been tucked away in a closet for six months; you know that winter has arrived. And what better way to wait out this cold and inhospitable season than by throwing a few logs in the fireplace, boiling up a batch of hot chocolate, and snuggling under the comforters for a few holiday movies?

Have You Been… Naughty or Nice?

Naughty or Nice Shutterfly design

For this year’s holiday cards, I’m thinking on using the following Shutterfly Holiday stationery. When I think of Naughty or Nice, I think of a devil and an angel. So I’ll customize it with my own photos of one of us wearing halloween devil horns and the other a halo.

Get Your Home Holiday Ready

Preparing for the holidays is never easy, especially when you have family on the way and mountains of built-up clutter to contend with before you can even start cleaning. When your son went off to college, he probably didn’t expect you to turn his bedroom into a storage facility (and he definitely won’t appreciate climbing over a pile of boxes containing your scrapbooking material to get to his bed when he returns home for the holidays). And since you’ve started working from home, you may have found that what began as a contained office space has quickly spread to coat every room in your house in a layer of paperwork, reference materials, and computer equipment (or product, if you run a retail business).

The Best Holiday Gifts for Mom and Dad

There’s no doubt about it: buying gifts for your parents can be a nerve-wracking and brain-numbing experience (that must be repeated every year). If your mom and dad are like most adults, they probably have just about everything they need and buy whatever they want throughout the year, making it extremely difficult for you to find them good gifts when the holidays roll around.
