Christmas isn’t just about presents (no matter what your teenager might try and tell you), it’s about spending time together and having fun so today I’m sharing our 24 days or Christmas Family Frugal Fun.
Life tends to get very busy for us all in the run-up to Christmas so I try to make sure that we do at least one thing together as a family every day. Last year our lovely alternative advent calendar helped us to do this but this year I’m planning something different for our advent calendars so I’ve written a list of 24 Days of Christmas Frugal Family Fun which we’ll print out and stick on the fridge.
We probably won’t do these in order but we will try and get through them all before the big day comes!
Over the years I’ve written about us doing lots of the things I’ve shared here on my list so I’ve added links to the things I’ve shared below and hopefully, I’ll add some more this year as we work our way through them all….
