Enjoy the festive season on a budget
Dont break the bank on entertainment this festive season
The December holidays can turn into a cash-sapping season for parents in their efforts to keep the family entertained.
This does not have to be your reality this year.
Here are a few ways to have fun without spending much money.

• Go to the park.
There is no shortage of parks in our town. Although some of them may have overgrown grass, the town has a park in almost every corner. The little ones will enjoy playing on the swings, using up all their energy.
• Organise a games evening.
This is a good way to hang out with friends and extended family. To cut costs, you can ask your guests to bring board games and snacks. A games evening provides people with the platform to meet new people as well.
• Start a workout or self-care routine.
During the year, many of us struggle to be consistent with our workout routines and taking care of our bodies, in general. The holiday season may offer you the time to look into your health so you can decide on what routines to adopt the following year. Skin, hair or gym, just pick one.

• Go hiking or for a long walk.
Look up on local hiking and walking trails. The East Rand has wetlands and mountainous areas that you may have great fun exploring. This is also a good way to teach little ones about nature and how to take care of it.
• Volunteer your time to a charity
During the Christmas season, many non-profit organisations host events to cater for the needy.
Your time is just as valuable. Spending an hour or two helping to make someone else’s life a little better is worth the trouble.
