Maybe you can set up the artificial Christmas tree in the backyard or decorate the existing outdoor trees.
Buyers want to feel a warm feeling when they are purchasing a home and what is warmer and more happy than a Christmas tree and decorations.

I am in the same boat of asking my 7-year old daughter to ask for only one thing and not using my credit cards. Life has been very different this past year- from never worrying about money to constantly worrying about money has become my life since my income has dropped 7 times (due to economy and changes in my market).

I am being creative in every sense of the word to keep the spirits up and creating more ways to make income.

It's just the two of us, so it will be easy not to overspend this year on Christmas.

I pray to God we all get through this tough time.

Happy Holidays everyone!

The reason is my daughters and I have taken care and lived with my mother for the last 15 years. Last year my Mom passed away leaving the house to me and my 2 brothers. The house is currently on the market. And if any of you have sold your home then you know the Realtors want the house to be very generic. Nothing on the walls and everything beige! So this year there will be no tree, no decorations, none of my snowmen I've collected over the years. Plus because I'll be buying a new condo there isn't going to be the extra money ( and absolutely no credit card purchases) for presents. This year we'll have our stockings, my youngest daughter' favorite thing and a few gifts. But most importantly we'll have each other.And instead of feeling sad we'll concentrate on the
> future. Moving into a new place. Decorating it. And next Christmas we'll have the tree & everything goes with it. Christmas isn't about things. It's about family. And I count my blessinga every day because I have two wonderful daughters! Happy Holidays To All
