Christmas On a Budget: Fun Family Activities

Christmas time in Texas can be a lot of fun for everyone in the family without breaking the bank. From candlelight caroling and holiday movies to twinkling Christmas light tours, there are plenty of festive activities to choose from without spending large amounts of money.

For low-cost outdoor activities, consider heading out to an outdoor ice skating rink where families can enjoy music and built-in entertainment. At the same time, they skate away their winter blues. Afterward, families could visit one of the many area farms that offer hayrides amongst decorations and lights—a budget-friendly way to get into the Christmas spirit!

15 Christmas Gifts For Anyone Who’s Passionate In the Kitchen

As a cook the gifts that interest me most are ones I can use in the kitchen, but a lot of people who arent particularly passionate about cooking just don't know what to buy or instead, buy some crappy, novelty kitchen gadgets that really don't have an practical use. Dog shaped pepper mills or some weird 5-bladed herb sissors are a no go for a chef, try one of these practical gifts we'd actually enjoy (or need) using.

A Healthy Christmas Dinner

For most of us southerners, hosting Christmas dinner is the best part of the holidays. We love having guests and winning them over with our hospitality. Open hearts and open homes-is the mantra we go by.

From the table scape to the candelabra, from the dishes to the meals served in them, everything must be perfect. Hosting for the holidays can be daunting in several ways too. Holiday season can involve many guests from out of town who stay over for a couple days at least. Cooking for extra people and keeping them entertained too can be quite a juggle. There is no time to lose.

Guaranteed Ideas To Make Your Christmas Eco-Friendly

After thoroughly disconcerting 2020 most of us are looking forward to celebrating Christmas. While it is hard to predict things will be much different, Christmas will still be the most wonderful time of the year.

However, the same cannot be said about our environment. Annually, the festive period sees an additional 30% of rubbish produced and discarded when equated with the rest of the year.

Make-Ahead Dishes for the Holidays

The holidays are a busy time for everyone, especially moms. Between cooking, cleaning, and entertaining, it can be hard to relax and enjoy the season. One way to help ease the holiday stress is to make some dishes ahead of time. With some planning, you can prepare several make-ahead words in your freezer or fridge. This way, when the holiday rush hits, you can reheat and serve without spending hours in the kitchen.

Some great make-ahead dishes for busy moms this holiday season include Southern basics such as casseroles, lasagna, soup, and chili. These dishes can all be made ahead of time and then frozen or refrigerated until you're ready to serve them. Plus, they're all hearty and filling dishes that will please even the pickiest eaters.
