This year my parents came up with a brilliant idea. Santa's special wrapping paper. Santa visits Diva at all houses, ours, Mema's, and Nana & Gda's. So, to make it really look like Santa visited all the houses my parents went and bought 3 rolls of the same wrapping paper to wrap a certain few of the presents Santa brings.
Since Christmas is so near here is a list of 5 things to do to make the build up to Christmas even more exciting! Have fun and See you next week!
1. Make Reindeer Food to put out Christmas Eve!
2. Make the cookies for Santa... Remember Santa might like a bit of bourbon in his egg nog!
3. Make your house smell like a winter wonderland!

3 bay leaves
1/4 cup whole cloves
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 lemon slices, fresh or 2 tablespoons dried lemon peel
