We love FREE Christmas movies on Amazon Prime Instant Video!

I always have to watch Christmas movies this time of year!

If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can take advantage of a good selection of free Christmas movies available on Prime Video!

Please note that at the time of our post (November 30, 2020) we found these to be free on Prime. However, this can change at any time, without warning. This means when you click through the links below to Amazon.com, you might find that these selections are no longer free to watch. Free Christmas movies with Amazon Prime rotate from time to time.

I included the times for each movie in case you want to put something on for the kiddos but you only have a limited amount of time. Leave a comment if you’ve seen any of these and let us all know what you thought!

Free Christmas Movies with Amazon Prime

#1 – It’s a Wonderful Life (PG) – 2 hours, 10 minutes
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE OF ALL TIME. I stinkin’ love this movie (one of my daughters is nicknamed “Zuzu” because of this movie). Of course, I already own the movie on Blu-ray, but it’s nice to know there’s a streaming version available, too. This is a must-see for me every Christmas season. Starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

#2 – The Snowman (G) – 27 minutes
This is a kids’ movie without words – perfect for the littlest viewers as well as the whole family. It’s based on the book of the same name. In this movie, a boy builds a snowman which comes to life, and together they embark on a magical adventure of discovery, including a trip to the North Pole.

#3 – The Ultimate Gift (PG) – 1 hour, 57 minutes
Description from Amazon: “A deceased billionaire leaves his spoiled adult grandson a series of odd tasks to perform in order to receive “the ultimate gift,” with the resentful grandson having no idea what that might be.” Starring Abigail Breslin, Drew Fuller, and James Garner.

Groupon: 5″ x 7″ Holiday Cards from Staples As Low As 31¢ Each

11/27/20 Laura Wales

Pick up Staples holiday cards at a great price with this Groupon offer!

Time to cross another item off your holiday to-do list…yes, you can totally get started on it now! The more you do now, the less you have to do later. 🙂

Order your holiday cards with this Groupon offer: get 5″ x 7″ custom matte holiday cards at Staples for as low as 31¢ each!

You’ll place your order online, then either pick up your cards at your chosen Staples location as early as that same day or choose to have them delivered for an extra charge.

Groupon Options

Options include:

$12 for 25 5″ x 7″ double-sided flat holiday cards or invitations ($24.99 value) – 48¢ each
$20 for 50 5″ x 7″ double-sided flat holiday cards or invitations ($43.99 value) – 40¢ each
$40 for 100 5″ x 7″ double-sided flat holiday cards or invitations ($81.99 value) – 40¢ each
$62 for 200 5″ x 7″ double-sided flat holiday cards or invitations ($154.99 value) – 31¢ each

These are some really great prices for holiday cards, especially since they’re the 5″ x 7″ option and they can be double-sided.

I’m considering jumping on this deal myself as this is a solid price. I usually order 100 or so cards and I really like the large option rather than the 4″ x 8″, although I’ve used both in the past.

I’m also considering using both sides and including a brief letter on the back instead of my typical extra insert. Hey, the less work I have to do to get these out the door, the better!

Puget Sound Christmas Tree Farms (including U-cut trees!)

Are you looking for a tree farm in the Puget Sound to get your Christmas Tree this year? If so, I’ve compiled a list to help you! While I’ve done my best to verify the information below, I do encourage you to research any of these options before heading out.

Also, not all of these locations may offer u-cut trees. If that information was made plain, I included it. However, you may want to call ahead if you’re hoping for the u-cut experience (or if you’d prefer a pre-cut tree)! Finally, some of these farms accept cash/check only. Make sure you know before you go.

This post has been updated for the 2020 Christmas Tree season!

Bacon’s Christmas Tree Farm (Bremerton, WA)

This farm offers U-cut trees, wreaths, garland and more. They are already open for the 2020 season and will be through December 13th! Open daily from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm. They are also open on Thanksgiving, 8:30 to noon. Located at 9381 W. Belfair Valley Road, Bremerton, WA.

Carnation Tree Farm (Carnation, WA)

U-cut tree farm opens the day after Thanksgiving, hours Fri – Sun 9 – 4, until sold out. Located at 3851 Tolt Ave, Carnation, WA. This year they will not have a Santa experience and the gift shop will be closed. Check out their website for more information.

Clyde ‘N Dale’s Holiday Trees & Gifts (Olympia, WA)

Ancestry Black Friday Sale: $49 AncestryDNA Test (50% Off)!

11/25/20 Laura Wales

Disclosure: the post below may contain affiliate links. When you make a purchase or take action using these links, the site makes commission. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

Through November 30th, Ancestry is running a Cyber Sale (for Black Friday and Cyber Monday) and offering their AncestryDNA® test for just $49!

This is the lowest price I’ve ever seen the test offered, which means that it’s a great opportunity to knock some Christmas gifts off your list!

AncestryDNA® can estimate your origins from more than 350 regions around the world. From discovering your ethnicity to connecting with distant relatives, this test helps you uncover the people, places, and stories in your unique heritage.

Here’s a little bit more about the test:

Once you place your order, you’ll receive the kit within a few days.
Provide a saliva sample using the easy instructions and mail back using the prepaid return mailer. (There are no additional costs beyond the original $49.)
Your DNA is processed at the lab, and you’ll receive an email with the results when it’s ready (typically within 6-8 weeks).

Shipping adds $9.95 for the first kit, $4.95 for each kit thereafter.

I can recommend Ancestry because I actually completed a test myself a year or so ago! The kit comes in a box, all organized with easy-to-follow instructions. I loved that they provided you with regular updates on the status of your test and results. I have also gifted a couple tests and it was fun and interesting to see the results.

Have you already done the test? Here’s another Cyber Sale deal from Ancestry worth considering:

Save 50% off Ancestry® Family History Gift Subscriptions! Choose from U.S. Discovery, World Explorer, or All Access.

Remember, this sale is good through November 30th only. Visit Ancestry.com to learn more about the kind of results you can expect and to read personal stories from people who’ve received their results.

If you’ve completed one of the AncestryDNA® tests, I’d love to hear a little about your experience and/or results (if you’re willing to share!). Please leave a comment below!

Best Ham Prices at the Grocery Store (Near You)

Best Ham Prices, Coupons & Deals

Many people enjoy a festive ham for Christmas! If you’re in the same boat, you might be interested in the best ham prices at a grocery store near you.

PS – We’ve got a roundup of the best turkey prices currently available, too!

Last updated: Wednesday, November 25, 2020

Remember when comparing ham prices, that there are different cuts of ham.

We typically see the best ham prices during Easter and Christmas. Here’s a little context of the best prices we’ve seen in recent years:

2016 Christmas Season: $1.47/lb
2017 Easter Season: $1.37/lb
2017 Christmas Season: $1.27/lb
2018 Easter Season: $1.27/lb
2018 Easter Season: $1.27/lb
2019 Easter Season: $1.27/lb
2019 Christmas Season: $1.19/lb
2020 Easter Season: $1.27/lb

It’s absolutely worth mentioning that many grocery stores will have a surplus of hams that they will mark down immediately following the holidays. I’ve found spiral sliced hams for as low as $0.99/lb. So if you dig ham, but don’t have to have it on Christmas, your patience may be rewarded!
