CHEAP THRILLS DECEMBER

Let’s not pretend anyone has any extra money lying around for extracurriculars this month – it’s all going to gifts and delicious cakes and snowshoes and kindling or whatever. That being said, if you have a few dollars lying around (look at you!) and want to maintain some kind of contact with your community this month, you will find affordable things to do IN THIS GUIDE.
