Merry Christmas and Happy Wrapping.

Laughter is the best medicine and nothing delivers laughs and fond memories quite the same way as your favorite Sunday comics. There's no reason they should be thrown out or recycled right away.

Give old comics new life by turning them into the Christmas wrapping for loved ones near and far this Christmas season.

When you incorporate this theme into your Christmas giving you are not only putting responsible living principles to good use but also putting a smile on someone's face on Christmas morning. How often is the packaging as much fun as the present? At least after the age of 3.

Christmas is the time of year that many people make donations or gift money to favorite causes and charities. One way you can help many charitable organizations is to purchase Christmas wrapping, Christmas cards, or Christmas ornaments that are made and/or sold by the charity in question.

Chances are that if you have a favorite charity they have something they are selling or offering as a form of thanks for donations. See what options are available and you can do a world of good for your favorite charities while keeping a theme of giving alive and well beneath your Christmas tree.

When you have an overall theme for your Christmas wrapping it can be quite dramatic and beautiful beneath your tree.

There are many themes that can make a bold and beautiful impression. A personal favorite is an old fashioned Christmas theme. This can be carried out by using craft paper, twine, and pine cones, cinnamon sticks, and/or plaid ribbons. If you are planning to give a lot of hand made gifts this Christmas, this paper can set the theme and make quite an impression on friends and family. It looks particularly lovely under Christmas trees that have many hand made ornaments or a nature sort of theme.

A bold theme to consider would be a black and white theme. This is very elegant and sophisticated by stunningly beautiful. You can expand the theme from the Christmas wrapping to the complete decoration of your Christmas tree if it suits your mood.

Colors are an important part of the Christmas season. You can use those colors when decorating your tree as well as the area beneath the tree. Many people prefer keeping the presents beneath the tree wrapped in one general color theme. Or even having gifts for a specific person wrapped in a specific color. This is very beneficial if you have children and wish for them not to know which gifts belong to them.

As you can see, there are many themes you can adopt for Christmas wrapping joy this holiday season. Do you have a favorite sports team? Are you crossword puzzle fans? How about bird or tree lovers? You will find a wide range of themes you can adopt for your Christmas tree as well as your Christmas wrapping.

We live in a world that is becoming increasingly aware of the limits of materials, space, and resources. For this reason many of us are seeking alternatives that are renewable, clean, and ecologically friendly.

One such option available to those who are purchasing and wrapping Christmas gifts this holiday season is that of using Christmas wrapping that is green. Not the color green but Earth friendly.

You can look outside of traditional wrapping paper, recycling newspaper or wrapping paper, and other common ideas when it comes to greener wrapping. Consider old fabric, make the wrapping part of the gift by wrapping a present in a scarf or handbag, and always never stop looking for ways to keep the environment in mind during your holiday celebrations.

There are many things you can do to ensure that this is a greener Christmas for people around the world.

Do you find yourself constantly searching for tape, tags, scissors, ribbons, bows, etc.? You aren't alone. One way to avoid this particular need is to create a wrapping station or a wrapping kit. This is a good idea not only for Christmas wrapping but also for all of your wrapping needs throughout the year. When all the supplies are kept in one place and replenished regularly you won't have a need to search for, sift through, or replace items that have been lost, moved, or used unexpectedly.

It also helps if you stock up on these supplied throughout the year by eliminating one additional expense of the holiday season. Keeping your Christmas wrapping supplies organized also prevents some of those last minute panic attacks that occur over forgotten gifts and last minute wrapping needs.

It doesn't matter if your family digs hockey, football, soccer, baseball, basketball, or some little known sport like competitive curling. The fact is that you can make the gift wrapping theme beneath your tree a tribute to that team. Whether you purchase team wrapping paper or simple select paper in the teams colors, there are all kinds of ways to make this theme work for you while making sure the world knows where your loyalties lie.

Seriously, who wouldn't love a Christmas present wrapped in a Colts t-shirt or hoodie (cough cough, hint hint if any family members are reading this). You don't have to rely on wrapping paper alone as gift wrap. Remember your Christmas wrapping options are only limited by your own imagination.

Don't forget that now, before the holiday rush, is an excellent time to start stocking up on those essential Christmas wrapping supplies. Ribbon, bows, stamps, stickers, scissors, tape, and pretty pens to write those notes of love are vital to the success of your mission to wrap when the appropriate time comes.

Unfortunately, the expense of these things on top of the gifts we purchase at Christmas time can really add up. Begin your shopping early for wrapping supplies, wrapping organizational tools, and beautiful Christmas wrapping paper in order to be prepared and have a little wiggle room in your Christmas shopping budget.
