Hèhè, yep she is!

Here is ours again, same as every year!

Yea York! Nice tree.

Big Sarge · 12-13-2009, 08:58 AM

Here's my tree. I used left over decorations from our office tree. I know it isn't the prettiest, but I tried. LOL. The USO gave us care packages. It was really nice of them. I stuck mine under the tree because what's a Christmas tree without gifts?

Merry Christmas & God Bless!!!

I think it's a rather cute tree, Sarge.

With camoflague wrapping paper, no less...

Here's a pic of our office tree. I know you can barely see it, but it was my best photo. Don't you feel safe knowing we are protecting you? LOL

Great trees guys. Both look like they need some serious ladder support to dress.

Not a Christmas tree, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread.
I'm just bigging myself up for my economic and green wrapping this year

Now wrapping presents for me has always been more fun than buying them. Every year I had a theme, usually a colour scheme too. I've done everything from threading bells onto ribbon to tying mini-baubles and tree-chocolates onto gift tags. Oh and brown paper with tartan ribbon - surprisingly classy.

This year, I was just going to nick Mum's leftover paper. But then came my Christmas box from the J's, and they used tissue paper to protect the items. Right, I thought, I'll snaffle that.

Then I lucked out with a Buy One Get One Free on 2 metres of wired ribbon. And I couldn't find spray glitter for <£5... so I figured the body glitter I had at home would do just as well. You really can't see the glitter in this pic - shame, it's there and it's funky.

The result is as below. Total spend (wrap-wise) £1.99. Now as you can see, only half are be-ribboned. I'm debating whether to go buy more ribbon tomorrow, or retain the ribbon from Mum, Dad & Grandad's presents for use on Boxing Day, when I see everyone else. I know what I should do... Yeah, I will. I shouldn't even have spent the £1.99 but it made me so happy!

Oh, the surface is a storage box full of my books (1 of 3). It is already glittery, that's not my doing.
ETA, the silver box in the middle came with a bracelet I bought from eBay in better times. It is being recycled to hold Mum's present.

£1.99 is pretty cheap for day, or even a few hours, of happy.
