It is the day before Christmas and of course you have waited until the last day to wrap gifts. This was me last week when I had to deliver 80 plus gifts to all of my children’s teachers, aides, cafeteria workers, and so on. We get a little nuts with holiday gifts for everyone at the schools. It is our way of thanking everyone from their teachers to the janitors for making our children lives so much more special.
Then of course, there is the mailman, the doctors, the nurses, the crossing guards, the garbage men…. It can be an expensive holiday but just to see the look on everyone’s faces as you give them just a little something makes your heart melt.
This year like all other years I ordered gift boxes from Bauman Family in Pennsylvania who make the most amazing apple butter, pear butter and pumpkin butter in no sugar added or regular. Although they are not organic, they try to use as little pesticides as possible. Perhaps you may have an organic farm similar to Bauman where you can get these butters since they truly are a treat. I purchase an assortment of gifts for everyone from gift boxes with four butters to individual butters. This year the boxes did not come until Wednesday night and I only had two days to wrap everything and have it delivered to three different schools. I am not joking when I tell you that I had 86 gifts and bottles to wrap.In the past, I have gotten plastic bags, used a lot of ribbon, wrapping paper, and stick on name cards. I don’t want to tell you how much tape I used. I definitely should have been bounced out of the eco-club. So, what was I going to do this year?
