I don't remember us putting things out for Santa when I was young. I did it with our children. That's cool that your dad was a Bill. He sure did live a long life. My dad was a few months shy of 97 when we passed this year. I said Billy Crystal too. Oh yes, I have pulled those couple of grey's in my brows!

Our neighbor wrapped gifts with the 'funnies' and my mother did not approve. As I sit here with zero gifts wrapped, I'm eyeing our newspaper recycle pile and wondering if my mom can admonish me from the heavens. Wait, what am I saying ... of course, she can and I'm off to Container Store for proper wrap. xoMakemineaspritzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362562555047365040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-55304301324737975902020-12-18T10:01:21.812-08:002020-12-18T10:01:21.812-08:00HA!

My mother with her artists eye wraps everything with such care and ties beautiful bows. I won't be with her for Christmas this year so am on my own with the wrapping. My daughter will be home and when she worked for Coach they taught her to tie bows, so there might be a pile waiting for her : ) Merry Christmas!

I also laughed out loud about wrapping gifts in tinfoil to match the tree. My mom had to have one of those one year a very long time ago. I'm surprised she didn't try wrapping the gifts in tinfoil too! Thanks for the chuckles!
