If you are like me, then you live pay check to pay check. It sucks but many live this way. This being the case, it can be hard to have a decent Christmas. I decided to try a few new things to do for Christmas. Here are some things you can do to be ready for Christmas when you’re broke.

  • Make your gifts. A handmade gift usually means more than a store-bought one. This is because you take the time to make it. Picture frames with a favorite snap shot is always a good idea. Ornaments are another great gift idea at Christmas, especially for parents and grandparents!
  • Start buying gift cards in January. $10 gift cards can quickly add up. Save them all year and then you won’t have to worry about being too broke to go Christmas shopping! Some places to get gift cards are Wal-mart, the Dollar General, Kohl’s, Best Buy, Amazon, Sephora, and the like.
  • Have some baked goods on hand. Most people like goodies to snack on. Bake some cookies or make some candies and make up goodie bags to give out to your friends and family. Chocolate anything is always a good idea!
  • Grab some yarn and crochet hooks and make a scarf or throw blanket. It really doesn’t take as much time as you might think. Use Christmas colors or the person’s favorite colors. Put some fringe on them. Glitter is always neat on warm hats.
  • Have a Christmas movie marathon with your friends and veg out. Order some pizza or make some nom noms and share with your friends. Spending time with each other is what Christmas is all about.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
