Using gift bags and boxes is quicker and easier than using gift wrap and tape.

Today we have a gift bag that you can print out. Then you can fold it and paste it together and pop your present inside. If you want to hide the present more you can put some tissue paper on top of it or close the bag up with some tape.

Have you wrapped your presents yet?  Today we have made a sheet of Christmas Wrapping paper and matching gift tags for you to print out.  You can print them out on ordinary white or colored printer paper. If your gift is too big for one sheet, print out more and tape them together.

I also enjoy watching them on YouTube and I have found some amazing large displays for you today.

13 houses in Bainbridge Cir, Murrieta, California join together to put on a Christmas Lights Display.  What makes it unusual is that the lights on all the houses play in time to the same music. Here is a video of them flashing in sync to the song “The Little Drummer Boy”
