The time to buy all of your Christmas stuff is now-seriously.  There’s nothing more sad-looking than old Christmas decorations, but they’re kind of expensive in the fall and early winter.  Just think of the bargains you could get by shopping now, and even shopping online.

I know there are places like Disneyland that sell decorations all the time.  That’s still way too expensive.  I’m talking about places that sell this stuff for a living-like one of those St. Nick’s or Santa’s Village places.  You can get Christmas decorations, Christmas tree lights and even Christmas trees there at much better prices.  But shopping online could get you an even better deal.

Another place to look for deals on Christmas stuff this time of year is Craigslist.  People are starting to clean our garages, basements and storage units.  It might be worth your while to check out what people are throwing away.  I’m going to go to our local Larkspur Mother’s Group rummage sale in a few weeks, held at the elementary school.  25% of the proceeds goes to the school, and the rest goes to the owners of the stuff, and boy I have found some wonderful things there!
