If you’re like me and haven’t yet wrapped a single gift, check out this post on making gift bags from old newspapers here! I’m going to take all those colorful papers the school sends home and run them through the shredder for the “stuffing”. That’s for everything I can’t manage to wrap in scarves or fabric or ribbon.
A last minute plea on behalf of parents everywhere:
Please, for the love of Santa, if you’ve purchased a gift for a child that requires batteries, a tagalong gift of rechargeable batteries will color you RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME.
Christmas Gift Suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.Oren Arnold
I think that this article, titled Reinventing Christmas in America, sums up everything I am thinking today.
I’ll leave you with some video of Cass at her Christmas singalong (email subscribers please click through to view):
I was already planning on wrapping the baby's gifts in newspaper (she doesn't care what the paper looks like, as long as she can rip it), but I like this bag idea even better. Thanks!
(and a merry one to you and your family!)
