1. Go Online – Web based retailers usually have pretty great deals on Christmas merchandise because they can afford to stock heavily, plus most offer free shipping during the holiday season to encourage more sales. Visit your favorite online retailer and feel great knowing that Christmas decor items are just a click away.

2. Go Green (and Recycle Last Years Stuff) – Remember last years Christmas ornament that aunt Betty gave you, or how about the beautiful Christmas Wreath that neighbor Kim gave you? Well no need to buy these again, just go green and re-use these items. Surely they have another good year or two left in them.

3. Borrow – Maybe a friend or relative stocked up on loads of Christmas lights during a HUGE after Christmas sale and now has plenty to go around. Ask to borrow this year and next year he/she can borrow from your fertile pot.

4. Try DIY – Handy are you? Pay Home Depot or Lowes a visit and see what fiendishly crafty projects you (and your family) can cook up together. Or hit the web and try online crafty video sites like eHow.com

5. Barter And Trade Your Way To Savings – Haven’t you heard BARTERING is all the rage now. Yes! Why do you think swap sites are so insanely popular right now. And have been since around 2007 or so. Because people want to save and will do so by any means necessary. But this doesn’t mean you can’t find some excellent Christmas decor deals. Try any of the online (or offline such as Craigslist) places and see what great holiday decorations you score.

Merry Christmas!
