While we’re all madly dashing through the snow or rain or 70-degree temps (depending on where everyone lives, of course) to get all errands done for this holiday season, I thought I’d offer some seasonal freebies that might help make the holidays merry–and possibly a bit easier and less expensive.

First up, if you haven’t already sent out Christmas cards, or your budget could use a freebie option, here are a couple of sites that offer a nice selection of holiday cards that can be emailed free of charge, or can be printed out and mailed if you prefer:

• 123 Greetings
• Greetings Island

And while a lot of radio stations are playing all the standard holiday songs this month, AccuRadio is offering free holiday music on the web right now. Pick whatever kind of seasonal tunes fit your mood, from Elvis sings Christmas, to Upbeat Holiday Party Mix, to Country Christmas, to Celtic Christmas, and even Holiday Radio featuring a multi-genre mix of holiday music.

• AccuRadio Holiday Music

And if there’s still a little time left for holiday crafts, check out the AllFreeHolidayCrafts.com  page to find the perfect project (or two). There are also contests on this page to win crafting supplies and products.

And remember, if you have kidlings around for the holidays, or bored & stressed adults who like to color, you can find free downloadable/printable coloring pages here on my site. Just click on either of the Coloring Pages links in the black link line under my banner above, or click the link below–

Finally, if you haven’t already heard, I’ve put several of my short stories up on my Short Stories page to read for free until Christmas–my gift to readers 🙂 You can click the Short Stories link on the black bar above or click the link below–
