Oh yeah, and for your redneck friends, you can make a gag (but cute) “Redneck wind chime”. Take a piece of wood and paint “Redneck Wind Chime” in crude letters, drill holes in them and put old cans, can openers, stuff like that to hang from the wood.

My aunt would take small pine cones, wire them together in a wreath and spray paint it gold. It was very pretty, especially if a nice ribbon was added to it.

Neat link...

Homemade Christmas Ornaments

You can decorate uncut eggs, too. I use glitter, glue, and get the stickers from the folks at Dover :)

Now if someone can tell me how to catproof a Christmas tree...

One guy I know gives out brownie mixes in a big jar. He layers the dry ingredients and attaches a recipe with a bow. Interesting idea.
