My mom used to use bows. She even had ribbon printed that said Merry Christmas! She even had big paper colored napkins - They saying on them from a printer was Whadda expect linen? They were sold in my grandmothers interior decorating and antique shop The front of the store used to sell smaller items. These napkins just sold so quickly - pretty colors as well pink, yellow, orange

I like making simple "shoestring" bows with wired ribbon.

My Mom uses bows. I've got to admit that I got out of it. That was after a time of making my own gift decorations. I got quite artistic lol

"If you desire to find the true spirit of Christmas and partake of the sweetness of it, let me make this suggestion to you. During the hurry of the festive occasion of this Christmas season, find time to turn your heart to God. Perhaps in the quiet hours, and in a quiet place, and on your knees—alone or with loved ones—give thanks for the good things that have come to you, and ask that His Spirit might dwell in you as you earnestly strive to serve Him and keep His commandments. He will take you by the hand and His promises will be kept."

I love your quotes! Beck and Hunter are very perceptive. I especially liked Howard Hunter's quote. We should all give thanks for our many blessings. Merry Christmas

You are so right workined - last night on the news showed all the homeless people and that is so sad. And we also have been getting the news of that terrible train derailment that happened in Washington State. Awful news and especially at this time of the year. We do have so much to be thankful for - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Australia. Hugs.
