First things first. I didn't eat fast food for the entire month of November. It was very difficult, but not impossible. The roughest part was not having as many options for lunch when we were out working on our Christmas shopping. It was a great idea, and saved quite a bit of money, but I wouldn't recommend doing it in November.
Now for what we have been doing this Holiday Season. The local theatre troupe did
Willy Wonka for the children's theatre production. I volunteered to make parts of Willy Wonka's costume.
We found this fun craft idea here

Still have to finish up and see how they look, but even if they don't turn out as great as I would like, we had a great time making them.
A school group was selling fruit as a fund raiser, so I got a bunch of apples. I turned most of them into apple butter! I found the recipe here

It is delicious!!!
Lastly, I found a Christmas stocking kit for $1 at a garage sale a couple of summers ago. I worked on the stitching this summer and finally finished it this weekend! It's fully lined and it turned out great!
