There was a small supply of wrapping paper at Walmart. I don't know if all Walmart stores are set up like the one I was at, but it was found in the garden center.
Jody, I spent a lot of time after last Christmas culling what I did not like or need so I ended up with only things that I enjoy. I think that it is working for me in not buying too much this year. I too like ribbons and paper but have so much here that I am keen to use up. Maybe then I will feel OK with buying more.Katrina, I have seen many things (that caught my eye, I love ribbon.) and have to remind myself that I have a lot stashed. I am trying to use up what I already have. I do a lot of talking myself out of what I like.
Rabble, I think folk are thinking of ways of making this year more special due to the circumstances. Candy canes would make a wonderful addition.Im very tempted to buy extra candy canes/old fashionrd lollipops to tie into the gifts
Yes, I've heard a lot of people decorating early/going extra on things. I was blasting out Mr Bublè earlier and dh said something along the lines of "it's good to hear something happy for a change"Rabble, I think folk are thinking of ways of making this year more special due to the circumstances.

Thats a good idea, thanks!You can do fun things with candy canes, I'm sure Pinterest has lots of ideas. Two that come to mind are make a reindeer with some brown pipe cleaners, google eyes, and a small pom pom for the nose (red for Rudolph, of course) and glue two of them together to make a heart. I'm sure a "How to make a heart with two candy canes" Google search will have a photo.
I've never heard of it. What do you serve?I've almost got everything ready for a North Pole Breakfast on the 1st.
It's basically an excuse to have dessert for breakfast! Last year we had pancakes and we turned them into santa faces with cut up fruit/ cream etc. This year I'm going to do christmas tree shaped crumpets, mini donuts, green and red fruit... chocolate milk, coffee for me, and decorate the table in greens and reds etc. It's just a way to kick off december!I've never heard of it. What do you serve?
