It's almost that time of year where adults turn into Santa and small children get so excited they drive everyone around them crazy. There are some freebies out there already to help make the season less expensive.

The kids can have a great time with free crafts and games at Bass Pro Shops then get a free picture with Santa before you leave. There are two ways to send a letter to Santa--that's right, it looks like Santa has an email address. The kids will love the free printables they can color to help decorate the house. JCPenney is offering a free snow globe to customers on Black Friday--make sure you get there early, these go quickly!
Free Gift From JCPenney: Black Friday Only - Offer in stores only, no purchase necessary and while supplies last. On Black Friday each year JCPenney gives out a free gift. From the ad it looks like a Mickey Mouse Snow Globe this year. These usually don't last long, so you definitely want to get there early (doors open at 4am). You can see offer on page one of the ad attached (in right top corner of that page).
