I'll have to try again. It seems like I remember trying that code again and it didn't work...or maybe they reinstated it. Anyway, thanks for the tip. Christina,

Really? I’ll have to try again. It seems like I remember trying that code again and it didn’t work…or maybe they reinstated it. Anyway, thanks for the tip.

They came on Saturday. Incredibly fast shipping and they look TERRIFIC! Better than the Shutterfly ones I got last year. I already have them addressed (and I am one that usually doesn't get them out until Christmas Eve...lol).

And yeah, I tell people the Christmas tree can't possibly be an idol...if it was, why would I dump it out on the curb for trash pickup after Christmas? I don't have the money to deck it with silver and gold, either. HAHA. Lori, love your song…haha…

That's hysterical! "For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. " Jeremiah 10:3,4 No really, they have GOT to be kidding! :D HAhahahaha! Mrs. W – Pahahahahahahaaaa! That’s hysterical!

But that is another matter entirely. I gave my kids a HUGE box to play in today...they are acting like it's Christmas LOL.

We also used pieces of old quilt cut into shapes, leaves, pine cones, fabric, and any other object we could think of.

I ask for paper bags rather than plastic a few times at the grocery store and use them to wrap with. To decorate the packages for others I let my children color on them or do their handprints. It makes them personal, and cute! :) Kelly,

Not that that's less annoying, but at least it would mean no one really thinks you're an idol worshipper.
