Of course, save your gift bags!<br/><br/>Adam - A lot of my mom's ornaments are wrapped in old newspapers. She has a large cardboard box that could fit both my boys plus a few others in it full of ornaments. It's been years since anyone has seen the bottom - who knows what's to be found.

When I was a kid, my dad used newspaper to roll the Christmas tree lights on when the tree came down. Every year, the lights came off those rolls of newspaper. <br/><br/>One of the best parts of decorating, was reading the paper that the lights were wound around. As of the mid 80's, he was still using the newspaper from 1968! I wonder if he still is? <br/><br/>The paper that my Nativity Scene is wrapped in is from the mid 80's and I found out yesterday that you could rent a house in Michigan in 1984 for $400.00 bucks!<br/><br/>I'll try not to be a Recycle Nazi this year Robin, promise!<br/><br/>Adam This reminds of something.
