Wrap It Up! - Day 18

wrappings and ribbons and boxes.. oh my

So I know it's not all about who gets what for Christmas but it has always been tradition for us to have presents under the tree. This year may be less than the last, the economy has no doubt affected us all, but that doesn't mean we can't make it work. If not for the big kids (me), than at least for the little one. And I'm not even talking about real presents here for the under age 4 category.. because we all know, that for them, it's not about what's underneath.. it's all in the unwrapping! I remember my mom use to wrap up her old empty shoe boxes just so we can have something to tear open on Christmas day. Now that was fun!

So today, I decided to wrap up a bunch of empty cardboard boxes.. one for each kid, big or little, with a heartfelt message for each, in hopes that the fun.. is all in the wrapping!

Plus the tree doesn't look so naked after all.
