CG>I sing the same hymns as last year. Does that count?
Of course it does!  Now if you have some of those Christmas Carol music
handouts that so often come in the local newspaper or are free at
community events I have a suggestion.  I found that I had quite a
collection of these papers.  They make great Christmas wrapping paper.
They are the perfect theme, Christmas Carols.  I hate buying wrapping
paper and cards.  To me they are so expensive these days.
To make tags for the presents I often use leftover wrapping paper
from last year.  It may not be big enough to wrap a gift in so it
gets cut to a good size folded over and written in.
Last years Christmas Cards also make great tags.  Cut the back page
off and write on it.  They can aslo be made into boxes buy cutting and
folding them.
At other times of the year I have used the Sunday Comics to wrap kids
gifts. They are wonderfully colourful.  Fasion magazine pages for a
teenage girl into clothes.
This year I plan on creating my own wrapping paper.  I have saved up all
the extra tissue paper that has ever come my way either in gifts or
around fragile stuff.  I have some leftover paint colours that I will
dilute with water and then with a spray bottle spray different colours
to the paper.  To finish it off I take red and green felt tipped markers
and draw Christmas motif's (ie. Christmas trees, stockings, holy, etc.)
