Or if you must wrap, buy gift bags!!!!

Wrapping is an art and part of a traditional Christmas.

At first GAE thought I was nuts and her kids thought I was gay, but I color coordinate Christmas present wrapping. Every year before Thanksgiving I (now we) pick two colors. This year is red and silver. Everyone bringing a gift to our house for Christmas Eve dinner must wrap his or her gifts with the color theme (i.e. Red paper with silver ribbon and bow, Silver paper with red ribbon and bow). Hues and paper patterns can vary, but not the colors.

We also coordinate the garland on the tree with the wrapping colors.

As for the environment, paper is biodegradable and is made out of farmed pine trees, so what’s the problem?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Being a WOP and coming from an artistic family it offends me to no end that so many people in western culture think a man has to be gay to have style.

Most people might think this is weird, but after I got my black belt my sensei had me doing flower arrangements, which by the way I am very good at.
