Tangle Free Holiday Lights
Save empty wrapping paper tubes and wrap your holiday lights around them to prevent tangling.
Have a costume swap!
Why overpay for a store bought costume when you can get one for free? Organize other families in your neighborhood and trade last year’s costume for something your kids will love.
Keeping Your Christmas Tree Fresh
Cut 1″ from the bottom when you bring it home from the lot to keep it fresher longer. Bonus Tip: Save the piece of wood and write your name and the year on it to treasure as a family keepsake ornament!
Keep Your Turkey Moist
Don’t baste your turkey. It will cook faster, and stay juicier, if you leave the oven door shut.
Save leftover bread
Freeze stale and leftover rolls and bread slices (including ends!) and use to make holiday stuffing, croutons, and breadcrumbs.
