It's a great way to keep the right outlook on the holiday. @Amy- I love the cards too, you end up with a much more personalized tree! @Brooke - I do the same thing with folding squares of wrapping paper. It's a great way to use up leftover scraps and it doesn't even have to be the same paper that the package is wrapped in! @What a great idea about making paper snowflakes; that would be a great project that kids could help with too. Thanks for sharing! Danelle Ice (Homemaker Barbi) Thanks for the great comments!

Then I use it as a decoration for the package and as a gift card! I love to cut big snowflakes from scrap paper to tape to packages. Then I use it as a decoration for the package and as a gift card!
