12 Frugal Days of Christmas Day 12: Holiday Hot Cocoa Bar & Polar Express Party

We made it! We made it to the week of Christmas. I’m pretty sure for my boys Thursday can’t get here quick enough; but for me I’m wondering where the last 21 days of December went. Last week we wrapped up the 12 Frugal Days of Christmas and today I wanted to share all 12 days with you in one place. There is still plenty of time to make some of the gifts and decor ideas, and even if you have put yourself on a tight budget all these options are budget friendly. So sit back, relax and don’t stress. The holidays are about family and fun, not presents and who has the best decorated house (which is good because if it was I would be in big trouble)!

The 12 Frugal Days of Christmas. Gifts, Recipes, Crafts and Decor that won't break the bank!
