I found brown craft paper at the dollar store and I decided I am now a wrapping paper snob. The brown paper seems to unify the presents. I found a yard of lace at Savers. It was only 2.99, a very inexpensive ribbon that I can cut any width. The other presents I used old sheet music and some tree clippings from the yard.

I love the smell of a fresh Christmas tree. When I go to the Christmas Tree Lot I tell them I only have $35. Then I am directed to the weakest Christmas tree they have available. I give them a sad face and ask, "do you have any damaged trees?" So every year I get a damaged tree. I manipulate some branches and put the least attractive angle against the wall. I just can't pay $70 for something I am going to throw out in the street in a few weeks. After I get my tree I ask for extra clippings that I use to decorate the porch and around the house.
