Christmas_Lights.jpg.jpgNow that you have your budget organised, meals planned and gift giving/buying underway, plan some Christmas events to get into the spirit! It's too easy to get caught up in all the other stuff and miss out on the festivities.
Here are some of things we do together as a family and with our friends. Some of these do cost money, and these are accounted for in our Christmas budget.

* Drive around and see the Christmas lights in the neighbourhood - better still, if you are in an area that goes all out with their lights - walk!
* Go to your local Christmas carols
Christmas_Story.jpeg.jpg* Dress up in Christmas outfits, pop some popcorn and watch a Christmas DVD
* Check out your local council website for free activites in your area
* Sit together and read Christmas stories - at the local library or from your own collection!
* Catch the bus into the city and visit Santa at one of the department stores, read the story windows - take lunch or morning tea with you!
* Have cooking parties with friends and with your kids friends. Make up some favourite Christmas recipes for gifts while your playing Christmas carols!

What's the Secret?
Do you want to know the secret to hanging on to your money?
So after being out of the house almost all of last weekend at the
seminar, we decided to have a weekend adventure closer to home. Like
everyone the usual chores had to be done, and of course the lawn needed
a good mow after the week’s rain.
We have been driving past the development of the Kangaroo Point Cliff Park
since it commence a year or so ago, and now that it is finished we
decided to take a picnic and check it out. As luck would have it
parking was a breeze on Sunday afternoon and the park itself was
relatively empty. There is loads of vantage points to view the city
(will be great for New Years Eve and River Fire celebrations),
and of course lots of lovely fresh lawn to relax on. In addition there
are several BBQ’s and it looks as though the cafe is almost ready to
open complete with a liquor license!
We took a very basic picnic of sandwiches and drinks and found a
shady spot to enjoy the surrounds and read. As a side note; that would
be one thing that I would point out, shade at the moment is at a
premium so until the trees become more established I would recommend
visiting at early morning or late afternoon during the summer months.
Why don’t you find a local spot that you haven’t been to before, or
not for a long time, pack a picnic, grab a book or games for the kids
and get out in the fresh air and enjoy the many green spaces Brisbane has to offer, they are pretty much all free!
