Just bare twigs in a large vase, with old ornaments tied to them can be pretty as well. We live on the edge of the prairie and prairie grasses grow well here. Thrift stores are also a great place to shop. There are typically many free holiday events from which to choose. Inexpensive winter activities are also plentiful.

Sometimes, as we shop we see things we would like to own and decide to treat ourselves with a gift or two as well. So, hey, I guess I can take the tax reduction next year as well as this!

My favorite thrift store has a section dedicated to seasonal items. The number and variety of Halloween items in this thrift store surprised me. Parties today can be pretty elaborate, with full adult costuming, special Halloween liquor, public event type parties and more.

Have events like three-legged races, a water balloon toss and other creative ideas to help pass the time. You can often find board games that are inexpensive at thrift s tores , although it is a good idea to check them to make sure all the pieces are there before you buy one. Have a Field Day.

There are exceptions of course, and the band playing Saturday was one I actually enjoy, so I was pretty disappointed when I ended up not feeling well and having to go home after dinner while Nathan and everyone else went out. I love the result as well, it looks so classic and expensive. I about died when I saw it.
