When the holidays roll around, it’s easy for me to rebel against the credit card companies and department stores pressuring us to shop ’til we drop. Waiting in long lines just to go into debt is not my idea of fun. Also, unless you’re starting out in life-like our 21-year-old son who needs everything — most of us already have too much stuff in our homes, which we continue to rearrange until it eventually ends up in a landfill.

With all this in mind, I’m always in search of holiday ideas that will enable us to have the It’s-a-Wonderful-Life kind of holiday while remaining environmentally and fiscally responsible. Homemade gifts to the rescue. Although some shopping is still necessary, it won’t make much of a dent in your pocketbook. And believe me, I’m not talking about turning your house into a craft factory from August through December. Any crafts in my life must be easy to assemble, no glue gun or power tools required.
