This is such a fabulous time of year. I love the decorations I see all over when I drive around. I especially love the totally decked out houses that have every inch outlined in lights (white and colored). Lawns that are totally covered with lit trees, deer, snowmen and whatever else they can pull out of the garage and put lights on. This has nothing to do with aesthetic beauty, I just can’t hold back the smile when I drive by. If there is a really good one I will actually go a little out of my way to see it lit up! Even though it is cold out, I always wonder what it would be like to sit on the lawn in the middle of all of those lights. It all makes me want to be very giving and generous. I want to hand a little something to everyone that rolls across my path. With these gifts for under $20, it is totally possible. There is something for everyone.
