Default Re: What frugal things are you doing for the Holidays?

I have made my parents agree to a present limit so we can keep our budget below $1K for everyone. I am not going to buy any Christmas decorations this year. I've found that you get so many Christmas trinkets as gifts during the holidays, you'll have a ton of decorations after a few years. Also, I'm regifting a gift certificate that I received for my wedding two ways ($50GC = 2 $25GC).

Knitting dishcloths for friends, they last a long time, and making cakes for everyone. I also set a personal limit of $25 for family, and my friend's and I have agreed to 10-15 among us.
