Thank you moneysavers!

Thank you to everyone on this board and elsewhere for all your great ideas this Christmas. I have done the following which were inspired by threads here:

Christmas elf (ours was a reindeer). The kids loved it and we will def be doing again.
They also really enjoyed the elf / north pole websites (and so did I, especially elf on the shelf).
Snowman soups for nursery staff and family members. Again this was brilliant.
Made our own wreath for the front door using greenery from the garden and also made a swag for the kitchen.
Wrapped everyone's presents in beautiful paper which I got last January.
Posted DS's letter to Santa to the Royal Mail and received a free card.
Put all the turkey and other leftovers in the freezer including the bones to make stock at a later date.

So thanks you have definitely given our Christmas an extra sparkle this year.
