Christmas Wrapping Saving - December 2018

​The first Christmas after my son was born in 1970 and then when our first grandchildren were born, I made them each Santa bags, rather large. I hand painted their names on to the bags, decorated with Christmas braid, ribbons and applique and each year (1970, 1971 etc.) With the grandchildren I made their bags out of material my mother-in-law had, so that made it extra special (as she wasn't with us anymore). So, my Santa bags have saved a lot of money, and wrapping in 48 years. Our children and grandchildren just love opening their Santa bags and love looking at the dates on them. My number one rule.... as soon as the bags are empty, I get them back to reuse next Christmas.... with the new year date painted on them.
