It’s no secret that the holidays are expensive. In fact, between all the travel, gifts and food, the majority of Americans blow an entire paycheck on the “most wonderful time of the year.” But while most people are prepared to spend an arm and a leg on presents, there is one area that is often overlooked in a holiday budget: decorations.
