Have you heard of the carol that rumoured Santa Claus is not coming to town this year? It is true that this and the next few years are going to be tough hence we've gota watch where we throw our moolah! Rynae is now at an age where she understands meaning of festivals and celebrations so I really wanna create a joyful christmasy mood for her this year by decorating our house with Christmas ornaments. I aimed to get a Christmas tree, a not too expensive one.
I came across an advertisement that Carrefour is selling their Christmas tree for only $9.90. This is unbelievable! Thankfully it is not a sales gimmick. Their 150cm tree is genuinely being sold for less than 10 bucks! Whee! I managed to get a decent-looking lighted Christmas tree for less than $25! Here's my breakdown:
Christmas Tree: $9.90
100 Xmas Lights: $7.90
Xmas Balls: $3.90
Gold Garlands: ($0.90 x 2) $1.80
Other Decorations: DIY
Tree Topper: Free
Gold Drap: Free
Total: $23.50
It felt good owning a pretty Christmas tree without the guilt of being a spendthrift. Rynae loves the Christmas tree and has been boasting about it to her cousins! 
A bottie tree deco I made with Japanese soft clay.
Rynae's masterpiece. A leaf. You can tell ya? Hee..
