The countdown to the holidays has begun. With it comes the only time of year that's simultaneously joyous and stressful. For some, this season will bring with it the event of a lifetime: a wedding. Those planning holiday winter weddings have several opportunities to save money and lessen the stress burden for themselves and their guests.
1. Deck the Halls.
Most event locations will have already decked the halls for the holidays, allowing you to piggyback their efforts for a low-cost wedding. Go with Christmas hues of gold, red and green -- or go for a silvery winter blitz. Strings of white Christmas lights will transform any room into a holiday paradise.

Remember the days before online shopping? What I remember best is that it stunk! Driving ALL over town in search of the item you were looking for, in stock and at the best price you could find. UGH! :pull hair out: It would literally take an entire day to find a particularly popular Christmas gift and there was no way around fighting the crowds or paying whatever price was being asked from the merchant who still had the item in stock.
Online shops now sell absolutely everything so that you can compare prices and shop for everyone on your Christmas list from the comfort and privacy of your own home, 24 hours a day. Online shopping has literally matured into a buyers' paradise in which bargains are not only found by consumers combing the Web, but deals are also pushed to shoppers by retailers on a daily basis.

As temperatures begin to drop, consumers may soon have a lot more on their minds than the coming winter chill. Since 2010, many states have seen the cost of home heating oil rise by as much as 30% or more. Depending on where you live, a particularly glacial season could put a serious freeze on your budget. So instead of just cranking up the thermostat, check out these six alternative tools for keeping costs down and the heat up. Splurging on all of these high-tech solutions could cost you a pretty penny, but pick out one or two and your wallet may thank you come Spring.
1. Cuddle up with a USB blanket
If you spend a lot of time at home on the computer, this USB heated blanket is perfect for keeping away the chills. It plugs into any USB port, comes with two cords and can be worn over the shoulders or across your lap. Just pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in.
