You’ll also receive a Thriftmas planning handout to help you organize your gift ideas, budget, and holiday shopping list.
Best of all, this event is FREE! Come get inspired, share ideas, and discover how a little creativity can go a long way this holiday season.
Thriftmas is part of the Ellis County Wellness Committee’s Santa’s Checklist Holiday Wellness Challenge, running October 15 through January 15.
