One of the most enjoyable things I do at Christmas time is wrapping gifts. I try to wrap as soon as I buy them. This allows me to get creative and take the time to make each gift special to open.

Holiday planters are a great way to decorate the outside of your home. A collection of greens, tree branches and ribbon make a decorative display for your yard.
