At least two articles in the Post today discussed how the economy is affecting Christmas. They say Black Friday will be black because we're depressed, not because it will get the store owners back in black.

So does anyone have any frugal tips for the holiday? What are some inexpensive stocking stuffers that won't just get thrown away? Are you cutting back anywhere?

I don't know if this qualifies as a frugal tip, but here it is:
for teachers (if you still do teacher gifts) - I know from my teacher friends that they get WAY too many knick-knacks. I used to give bookstore or office-supply store gift cards. You can give as little as $10, or team up with other parents to give a larger one. They're always appreciated.
