paper wrapping

paper wrapping

Every Christmas my mom buys the same color wrapping paper, red and green for the christmas tree in the family room, and silver and white for the christmas tree in the living room. Why two different colors for the trees? That way she can tell apart which christmas presents are for family sides. One of the benefits of having my main family members living in the same city is we are all able to get together during the holiday season. There is no reason to be stuck in traffic on the interstate or at the airport because the flight got delayed. While my mom likes to use store bought wrapping paper, I found these awesome wrapping style ideas that are perfect for those artsy crafty and go green supporters.

a list for santa

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, the only thing on my mind is the holiday season. When I was little, I use to make my Christmas list a little around Thanksgiving, that way it gave "santa" a head start. As Christmas got closer and closer, my list got longer and longer. Nowadays, I keep my list simple. I've been asking for home decor and beauty products more than anything, and my mom keeps telling me it's a sign of me getting "old". While I should be preparing for my finals, I am instead creating my shopping list for the next few weeks (along with creating a wish list of my own).
