Where can I find Cheap Christmas Decorations online or in a store.? My Husband and I are finally in our own house for christmas this year and I bought a tree last year hoping if I bought a tree he would get the picture and get me a house to put it in. It's a pre-lit tree But I still need the ornaments and stuff to put on it. We don't have a whole lot of money to spend so I was trying to get quite a bit for a low price and E-Bay isn't an option. It's our first christmas with just us and the kids and I would really like it to be special.
Websites with cheap Christmas decorations? We are doing Christmas on a budget this year and i'm playing the 'Santa' role this year(my mom doesn't know) she thinks it's going to be a bad year so I am trying to make it the best in the cheapest way because I don't have a lot of money. I have about $100 so I am looking for Christmas gifts, decor etc. Such as snow globes, nut crackers, coloring books, mugs and anything Christmas but not so much religious. I prefer that the majority of all things be under $20, the cheaper the better:) So if anyone knows any websites with cheap Christmas things that would be great and extremely helpful. Thanks in advance.

Where would I find really cheap, really ugly christmas decorations? I live in a small townhouse with my husband, 7 year old daughter and two dogs. We don't have much space, so we have a small fake Christmas tree that looks more like a green tube than a Christmas tree. We've been using it for years. Our families always make fun of it cause it's so ugly. Well, this year, we've decided to step it up and completely decorate the bottom floor of our house in the ugliest christmas decorations we can find. And then make them come over to dinner a few times in december. Hahaha. So does anyone know where I could find this stuff for cheap? Or know of any cheap ugly crafts that we could all make and put on display? I'm not very good at crafts, but my daughter has mad glue stick skills. Bad day Edwardo? Wow.

Does DonQuixote have the cheapest Christmas decorations in Tokyo? One pack of Xmas lights there was about 5000 yen. Pretty insane seeing that it'd be about $5 or less back in the U.S. oh if it isn't threedaypriest?! notice how everyone else actually answered the question? notice how you think someone was really interested in the extensive details about how your lighting system works? you are so weird!!! good answers everyone (i gave you all thumbs up except the weird fake priest guy) but one person had several good ideas so i'm choosing them as the best. i ended up at donkey just out of convenience and because its too late to order online! thanks all!
Where's the best place to buy Christmas decorations? We're having our annual family christmas party at our house this year for the first time ever, so we want to decorate it really nice. We've got plenty of christmas tree decorations and tons of lights, but almost nothing else. Where is the best, cheapest place to buy decorations?

If I knew we were having the party at my house this year I would have bought a bunch of stuff after last year's christmas when everything was on clearance =|

What or how should I charge for decorating someones house for Christmas, when the decorations are mostly mine? I have been asked to decorate the interior of a house for Christmas. And wonder if there is a formula or guide line to follow for charging. Kitchen,entry,livingroom,bedroom,bathroom, hottub room and tree. What should the hourly rate be? For shopping for items as well? Travel time? And what/how do you charge for the use of your ornaments, there will be over 100 on the tree, plus garland, lights, figurines, candle holders and wreathes etc. elsewhere. Also hand picked pine cones. She has asked that it be elegant, so the items are not cheap. Also, if any get broken, what would I charge? Full price? They are used, but replacement isn't always possible. OOps I guess thats another few questions. But all related. Does that count? Don't answer that.

Where to stay in New York City at Christmas time? I really want to go to new york to see the christmas decorations. I was going to go last year, but never did. My mom says we should go later, but I said I want to see it at christmas time. She wants a really nice, but cheap hotel. Are there any good ones in like manhatten or other places down by the best shopping? I think we are traveling by train so if you could find a good hotel and train deal that would be great. How long do the stores keep their christmas decorations up? I know that they are up in january. Does anyone know of any good guide books that would help? I would really like all the help I could get. Please give me information along with websites. Thanks!
Where to find Mexican Christmas Ornaments/Decorations online? My community has a Festival of Trees in early December and each year my coworkers and I decorate one for the festival. Our theme this year is "Christmas around the World" and I have Mexico. Living in New Mexico you'd think I have great access to such things but not in the NW corner. So I'm curious if any of you know any great, but cheap, online websites that may have something I could use. I have a $50 budget so the cheap part is kind of essential.

Shopping for the presents and leftovers after Christmas? After Christmas I love buying the presents, decorations, and all the leftovers that are marked 75% off. I buy all those things to save more money and time for the next Christmas. I don't like shopping around the holidays, especially before Christmas since it's hectic and crowded in the stores. And I also hate spending money on sale or regular prices that aren't even cheap before Christmas! So do any of you guys shop for the presents and leftovers after Christmas?

Nightmare Before Christmas office decorating ideas? CHEAP ideas? Hello, I work in a hospital, there is a christmas decorating contest ecery year between clinics/ departments.

I fear I wont get by this christmas!!! Im scared!!!? I'm 2 months behind with my rent thanks to my partner as he spent the rent on getting his car fixed. Im too scared to tell the landlady. Usually, I start christmas early (october) and should have everything i need in by now but have gone nothing besides a few prezzies for my 2 small children. I always do my best to get my kids everything they want and as i love christmas- so much go mad with the tree and decorations, also the christmas shop for food. But this year is looking really bad and fear that I wont be able to give the kids the best christams and were all going to be grumpy. Christmas doesnt bother my partner- hes grumpy but i love christmas and just for 1 day a year try to make the effort. Is this me over-reacting and making a fool of myself- i should be grateful i still have a roof over my head? Anyone got any advice for a cheap christmas or some advice how to chill out? Thanks for listening to me moaning- this is a big deal for me
My dream wedding is a Christmas themed event. Is that too weird? These are the details. When I tell people exactly what I have envisioned they look at me all funny and usually laugh and tell me I am crazy. Dress: A Victorian long sleeved, high collar, dark red velvet dress. Isn't white for dead people? Decorations: Real Christmas Trees and Poinsettias. Real trees smell so good, plus I can get all the other decorations (twinkle lights, bows, whatever)I need right after Christmas the year prior on clearance for cheap money. Reception: I wanted to have a dessert reception instead of a traditional sit down banquet. It's way cheaper plus Christmas is really the time for desserts. I was thinking of a lot of traditional fare, plus more contemporary stuff. Oranges, gingerbread, peppermint sticks, sugar plums, hot cocoa and yes, fruitcake as well as some holiday inspired ice cream, cream puffs, cheesecake, and eclairs. Cake: I am not a big fan of sugary, butter cream frosting. I was thinking more of a large rum or bundt cake with like a cranberry orange glaze. Also, much cheaper than a traditional cake Music: I was thinking a polka band to play christmas tunes

How can I get into the Christmas spirit? With 7 days to go I'm guessing it's a bit late to be asking this question but I don't know what to do! I've tried making my own Christmas decorations, baking Christmas biscuits, shopping, I've visited the family, wrapped presents, watched all my Christmas movies, listened to Now Xmas CDs over and over in my car, and as much as I love Wham! I'm just not feeling Christmassy!!! I have no money, so do you have any cheap suggestions of how to get into the Christmas spirit? Honestly I didn't say that I was hard done by or suffering this Christmas, I just asked how to get the Christmas spirit....no need to have a go at me about homeless people! I'm not ungrateful and I'm not complaining about what I have. Thankyou to everyone who hasn't assumed I am selfish Scrooge! :)
What are good cheap winter gifts to make for a large amount of people? My organization hosts an annual Christmas party, and as a holiday gift, we give them a small token of appreciation. We have volunteers come in to make 100-200 of these small gifts, but we have little budget. Last year we made cocoa cones with hot cocoa powder, marshmallows, and crushed candy canes. The year before that we made a small ornament or decoration snowflake out of wires and beads. Do you have any ideas for small cheap homemade gifts for this year?
What are some affordable Christmas decorating ideas for my first apartment? Hello all. I am 18 and I have just leased my first apartment. I am really excited. In fact, I move tommorrow. I was never interested in decorating where I lived until now. Im not really a christmas type person but i have a strong urge to buy a tree,wreath,etc.., I am scared I will overdo the christmas decorations budget. I also have to buy things to put in my apartment like stuff for the kitchen,paintings,etc.., you know stuff just to make it feel cozy. I am contemplating whether I should get a real or fake tree. If I get a real one, its totally naked so i have to buy stuff to put on it. but if I get a fake one, it already comes with decorations(but i find that the fake ones are more than the real ones).... if anyone can suggest some cheap places i could go that would be helpful. thanks! (lol, its so ironic.. i thought i would be thinking about christmas after thanksgiving, but it seems that no one is really thinking about thanksgiving over here.)

Christmas Decorations? Anyone have a great website for Christmas decorations (or, any holiday for that matter!)? The stores are starting to put things out, but there's not a whole lot to choose from. I love shopping online, too. I'm not rich or anything, so the cheaper the better :)

Any Christmas Decoration Ideas for a dinner? I know.. there are plenty of ideas out there but I want to create a warm feeling in such a cold area. (Not physically of course) In the hall, the walls are white the tables are long retangular plastic and white, the chairs are also white but match the tables. there are four skinny pillars in a rectangle painted tan (go figure) and the floors are the same color. there's a small stage with navy blue curtains and brown carpeting. there is also two sets of flourescent lighting. Meaning two switches.. you can't fade the lights seemlessly...Yes it's an extremely ugly place and last year at the dinner we had these cheap little fish bowl candle holders and some sort of odd greenery surrounding about six on three long rows of white cold tables. Along with cold cut sandwiches and cold sodas and chips. This year it will be potluck so food will be heartier and warmer. We will have music and possibly a jazz band so with that.. how can i make the rest of the space better?
Psychologists or psychiatrists - what is my condition called? I know I've got that hoarding syndrome and I have some OCD, but I don't know if that's it or if I've got other related mind problems. I just want to know so that if I want to do research about it, I can look it up. It's just really exhausting to have the brain that I have. People don't really understand. I watch too much TV to try to escape and not think, but I end up recording too much and I make TV watching into one of my many jobs. I take the time to show my husband things that are interesting or funny, I think I have to write things down (if they seem important to me), and I also have to tape some things from my DVR onto a tape. It's annoying, because I know I will never watch most of the hundreds of tapes I've piled up over the years. I rarely throw anything away. Magazines have too much important health information, recipes, etc and I can't seem to get rid of them (even though I have many, many of them). I like a lot of things (cheap jewelry, collectibles, Christmas decorations, craft supplies, etc) and I find it hard to part with them. I always think I might need something later. (I know, that's the hoarding thing.) I write tons of notes every day. Many of them are about making changes to get myself healthier, prettier, more organized, etc. I can't seem to make any changes at all, though. I grab a notebook and write my plans for change, but can't do it. I have thousands of e-mails under various names, and they are mostly from myself - links to look at, notes to myself, things I need to do or remember. I can't get them under control or find time to do them. My mind just feels like it is constantly working. I know I need to simplify my life and calm my mind, but I just don't know where to start. Can anyone label what my mental problems are and point me in the right direction for getting some help? I'm not feeling strong enough to handle counseling right now. (I've tried that, and it just freaks me out too much.) I would be willing to take medication, but I can't right now because of my long-standing health problems (conditions which can't tolerate them chemicals). I just need some self-help tips to get me started toward being and feeling mor

Single Mom Christmas? I have gone thru some life changes this year had a divorce, mother died, you name it it has happened. I went from having no debt to nothing but debt, I thought by December I would have a hold on things but all I did was rob from peter to pay paul, now I really did it! I have no Christmas tree, no decorations no nothing. Rent is due in 9 days and I don't have one cent towards it. My problem is my 12 year old daughter, I feel like the worst Mom not being able to give her a little Christmas something. I have enough in the bank to buy food for us for the next 2 weeks but thats all I have (we have been living on ramen noodles and eating cheap like eggs and toast for months now) My question is do you think it would be cheesey for me to write her a letter and give it to her on Christmas morning? explaining what I have done and I'm so sorry I ruined her holiday but at least we are healthy and such...yada yada yada.
Anyone took down the Xmas decorations yet? I might take my down tonight, you people who ...? put up thousands of crappy outside ones are regretting it now I bet. 1, they looked shite anyway 2, It just showed all your neighbours what knobs you are 3, you will have to spend 2 hours taking the tacky crap down. 4, you did your bit of environmental damage, well done. Myself I have one small cheap fake tree, I like to think its practical and unassuming, unlike you people mentioned above, who seem to use the amount of Christmas lights you put up as an extention to your very small peni. I thank you, I feel better now.

What can i get for christmas presents? I need to get presents for my aunts, uncles, dad and grandparents yet. But I dont know what to get. I don't want to have to spend more than 20$ on a gift since I only have about 130 dollars and i have to buy for about 20 people. If you have any ideas please answer! Here is what they like Dad- Likes to watch football (packers) and baseball (brewers) he also likes golfing. (he was asking for a packer sweatshirt but i cant find any cheap enough) Grandma1- She likes to shop, she likes diamonds, leopard patterned stuff, modern looking stuff i guess. Aunt1- She likes fish, and country stuff, snowmen and is a kindergarten teacher. Aunt2- She likes to shop too. She also likes snowmen, diamonds, (expensive stuff) cute decorations (like those ornament christmas trees) Grandma2- She likes Elvis Presley so i got her some elvis presley hotpads. (Just for an idea of things i got already) Grandpa- I HAVE NO IDEA! He likes animals and elvis preslsey, johnny cash too. Aunt3- Im hopefully going to get her a fold up chair that has a wine bottle and glasses on it and says merlot becuz she likes wine and a black bear soap bar. and she also likes pinecones, blackbears, black and red (plaid) Uncle1- Likes the same thing as my dad uncle2- likes the same thing as my dad and uncle1 but lives in maryland
Stocking up on Christmas supplies....where do you go? I need wrapping paper...where do you think the cheapest spot to get some is? What decorations and/or supplies do you splurge on? I like wrapping presents really special. Lots of ribbon is fun because it can make it harder to open. I also tape over every edge so it takes longer to shred open. :) What decorations do you put around in the house?
What are people's reasons to hate Christmas? Seriously, why do some people hate it so much?? I don't know why they have to act so selfish and grumpy. They're Scrooges! Christmas is meant to be a time for happiness and being together with family. Who couldn't resist not liking those beautiful sparkly decorations at this fun time of year? I know Christmas is not what it used to be but it's still the good time for me and others. It's become way too commercialised but I haven't forgotten the true meaning of it - when Christ was born, the holiday of joy and peace, reuniting etc. I do wish that Christmas would go back to how it always used to be though. Because I had such wonderful memories when I was a child, I wouldn't start hating it all of a sudden. I always loved spending Christmas with my family. In the 1800's Christmas was a lovely holiday and most people loved it back then. If you said you hated Christmas, they'd look at you as if you were insane! Of course I don't exactly know, but judging from A Christmas Carol and other stories, it seemed then everyone enjoyed themselves. It seems to be more about the money now, so is that why some people hate it? Instead of you just being with your family, it's about buying new products at a cheap sale from £10? What other reasons are there? I just think it's a downright shame. Jing, things would be better of you weren't so immature!! I agree some people have felt lonely during this time of year. I feel bad for them because it's not meant to be depressing. Some people like being by themselves to be honest. But some people have had it fine and they just seem to hate it and that's what I wonder. and Jing, on your answers, may I ask, why have you always put SEX Cake for every one?? You really need to grow up!!
How can I and where can I find decent christmas lights during the winter season? ? My family and I are moving in to a new house before the holidays and I want to know where I can get decent christmas lights. Last time I waited until the last minute and I bought gifts before I bought outside decorations. So I had to settle for some cheap lights. Another thing that made the situation worse was the weather. It started to get really really cold and snowy and it was harder for me to put the lights outside. This time I plan on doing this earlier (maybe a day or two after thanksgiving) with some better lights. Plus, can you give me some clues or methods when I start decorating.

Psychologists or psychiatrists - what is my condition called? I know I've got that hoarding syndrome and I have some OCD, but I don't know if that's it or if I've got other related mind problems. I just want to know so that if I want to do research about it, I can look it up. It's just really exhausting to have the brain that I have. People don't really understand. I watch too much TV to try to escape and not think, but I end up recording too much and I make TV watching into one of my many jobs. I take the time to show my husband things that are interesting or funny, I think I have to write things down (if they seem important to me), and I also have to tape some things from my DVR onto a tape. It's annoying, because I know I will never watch most of the hundreds of tapes I've piled up over the years. I rarely throw anything away. Magazines have too much important health information, recipes, etc and I can't seem to get rid of them (even though I have many, many of them). I like a lot of things (cheap jewelry, collectibles, Christmas decorations, craft supplies, etc) and I find it hard to part with them. I always think I might need something later. (I know, that's the hoarding thing.) I write tons of notes every day. Many of them are about making changes to get myself healthier, prettier, more organized, etc. I can't seem to make any changes at all, though. I grab a notebook and write my plans for change, but can't do it. I have thousands of e-mails under various names, and they are mostly from myself - links to look at, notes to myself, things I need to do or remember. I can't get them under control or find time to do them. My mind just feels like it is constantly working. I know I need to simplify my life and calm my mind, but I just don't know where to start. Can anyone label what my mental problems are and point me in the right direction for getting some help? I'm not feeling strong enough to handle counseling right now. (I've tried that, and it just freaks me out too much.) I would be willing to take medication, but I can't right now because of my long-standing health problems (conditions which can't tolerate the chemicals). I just need some self-help tips to get me started toward being and feeling more normal. I mean, everyone I know seems to be pretty nuts to some degree, but I do think I'm the worst of the bunch. I know I sound self-centered because my problems do take over my mind a lot, but I actually do do things for other people - like my husband, my mother-in-law, and other people. I know I allow my own problems to take over my life too much, though, so doing more for others is a good suggestion, though right now it's hard to feel like I can find the time or energy. Sometimes I spend a few hours helping people on Yahoo Answers. It's amazing, but I can actually be helpful to some people, even though my own life is a mess.
being british? Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of all things foreign! Only in Britain can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. Only in Britain do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. Only in Britain do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke. Only in Britain do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters. Only in Britain do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage. Only in Britain do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place. Only in Britain are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink. NOT TO MENTION.. 3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue. 142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts. 58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers. 31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in. 19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate. British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmas cracker-pulling accidents. 18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth. A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after trying to open bottles of beer with their teeth. 5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out-of-control Scalextric cars. and finally... In 2000 eight Brits were admitted to hospital with fractured skulls incurred whilst throwing up into the toile i am british by the way

Is it TOOOO commercialized? I was in Target the other day, I was having a great time with my little girl as we went past the aisles, then we come up on the Christmas decoration aisles and I felt a wave of sickness. I was like why? TO many ornaments, mostly gawdy and cheap looking, everything was bigger and brighter. Why does EVERYTHING have to be taken to the extreme?
Ideas for room decoration? I need to decorate my room in my tiny apartment. I've tried some photography on the wall, some candles, and a string of those tiny lights people use on Christmas tree to decorate my windows... Any other ideas? I don't want posters on my wall, I think my pictures are sufficient. Can't paint the walls either, the place's rented. Some cheap ideas would be nice. Oh and maybe some decoration ideas for the kitchen, which I share with my roommates.
Online Shopping bargains? Does anyone know of any websites with cheap home decorations/home goods? Im looking for cheap prices like at The Christmas Tree Shops, but they dont have online shopping. anyone know of anything like it with online shopping? thanks.
