Who says pumpkins can only be used as decorations on Halloween and Thanksgiving? With the holidays all very close together, it's great to repurpose some of your decor for other occasions. It can save you money and could be a fun family activity. You can simply paint any pumpkins left over from the previous holidays in Christmas colors and then have unique handmade decorations that no one else will have.
Plus, who doesn't love an activity to keep your kids entertained? It's fun and affordable and a nice touch to the ambiance of your home.
