My husband was good at making things and I was into decorative painting and I also know how to do a lot of needle work. So I painted and Ken made frames, and a lap desk etc.. We went out and chopped down a tree for 10.00 and made our own ornaments even though we had boxes full of the same in the basement and a tree also. My daughter then about 12 yrs old and I went to the mall with a pen and paper and had a race to see who could spend more on paper. To this day we talk about that christmas as the best we ever had. I could go on and on, but I'm running our of room. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....Do with what you have. In 1992, my husband was laid off and we had very little for christmas.
