If you think I’m a green freak (Amigo does), you may be right. But if you think my attitude toward wrapping paper minimizes the colors in the pile under the tree, you’d be wrong.

Ho Ho Ho! Looks great, ya know!

In case you think I’m obsessive about it, and you’d be correct, take a look at this. I salvaged larger scraps of wrapping paper for later re-use. Compare the pile of reusable papers with the small plastic bag of trash. Not bad, eh?

That’s a creative transformation of a Verizon bag in the background, too.

I did spend a few dollars at the dollar store to buy ribbon and tape. I’m not a total Grinch.

A little time organizing, and we’ll be all set for next year. There will be no need to buy wrapping paper. No need to buy more, family, do you hear me?!
