Using pinecones for decorations is a great idea. You can use them as centerpieces or ornaments. Painting them for more variety. Get pine branches from the x-mas tree place. Some will let you have them free. You can create your own wreath or actually place the branches on the mantle or use for centerpieces. You will save a lot, your house will smell dreamy and it looks festive. My frugal tip for x-mas is to use some “green” decorations. Using pinecones for decorations is a great idea.

AAlso, instead of trying to get all of your Christmas ornaments to match, get people to buy you some as presents. My parents' Christmas ornaments are a jumble of our old craft projects and trinkets celebrating our first Christmas and random other ones. We add to them over the years with a trolley from when Chad and I went to San Francisco for the first time. Every ornament has a story, and even though we often run out of room on the tree for our entire family history, we make sure to fit everything on there!

We used to basically exchange gift cards with siblings - this year, we're not exchanging. Set up some together-time with girlfriends instead of exchanging.
