I will have to start from the beginning this long weekend, especially since we aren't having our dinners until Saturday and Sunday. I am going to come home from work tomorrow and sleep my heart out, then I may start in Turkeyday, lol.
 
Turkey will do that for you. ;) Sleep, that is.
 
I wish they used more recyclable material. I can recycle the boxes & the brown paper here in my city, but not those funky things. I've been saving them (only have a few) for when I have to ship things out myself.
 
THAT'S the ticket! Ship out Christmas gifts using it for packing and make your relatives figure out what to do with it!
 
Do you have a friend or family member who owns a business that ships items. I take mine to my husbands place of business and they reuse the silver packing things. Good for the enviroment.
