1. Cinnamon stick snowflakes tied with white yarn and traditional plastic ornaments from the dollar aisle at Target hang in the kitchen window. Total cost: $1 (for the ornaments)
2. Vintage hot chocolate tins from last year, found deep in the back of my pantry, sit on the ledge. Total cost: Free.
3. Large “Texas-sized” jelly beans fill a glass vase – this was the big splurge. Total cost: $3.50 for the beans. YUM.
4. Sticks from the yard were spray-painted silver and placed in a holiday glass with cotton balls. (Same arrangement on the mantel.) Total cost: Free.
