The holidays are such a cozy and fun season, one of my favorite things to do during Christmas time is to spend time with family and friends, do arts and crafts or simply read a book and sip tea under a warm blanket on the couch (or in bed).

If you want to do something fun for the holidays you can make your own DIY Christmas decorations. Save money and bond with family and friends by doing something creative & fun while spending time together during the holidays.
