Oh bother! This reminds me that I forgot to restock my wrapping paper stash for next Christmas. Hmmm, I wonder if any stores still have them on clearance….
Also, I’ll have to check out the John Erickson book. We loved his Hank the Cowdog stories when the kids were younger.
Happy New Year to you as well! I know... each year I say THIS WILL BE THE YEAR that I coordinate the wrap and the ribbons... and then there is always that random roll that messes it up. Interesting observation this year... surprised me.... one of the best loved and most versatile papers was a solid black! I know! Not Christmasy at all, but the plaid ribbons stood out against the neutral background, as did the shiny gold. Kind of like stars in the sky :-)
I bet they were lovely! I do not have any skill at gift wrapping or wrapping well ahead, so I tend to look for cheap, colorful paper and call it good. I do love a beautifully wrapped gift, though!
I enjoy your writing very much! Yes, our own roast was the best ever. I did not receive an auto as a Christmas gift though (which I would think might require an extra large bow).
I just sent it in an email. Let me know if it works! You should be able to copy and paste into your notes (or wherever you want to save this.) Thank you for your kind words!

That would be quite the Christmas morning surprise! 😂
I'd love to have a copy of your Checklist!
Always love reading your tips and musings!
