Decorating your home for any holiday need not require a shopping trip. These ideas are a starting point for some simple decorations that cost next to nothing, just a little time and the use of some things you already have around your home.

Christmas Decorations

Cut out paper snowflakes to tape to your windows for basic winter decorations. Fold a square piece of paper several times and cut various shapes out of the folded edges to create unique snowflakes. Use dots of glue and glitter to add color. You can cut out circles and create snowmen, and you can also print out coloring pages for your children to color.
