When I was a kid, my grandmother was the queen of reusing boxes for Christmas. I can t tell you how many gifts I received that were wrapped inside empty boxes of Raisin Bran or Frosted Flakes. Seriously! Every time I unwrapped a gift, I was convinced I was getting cereal for Christmas. Well, apparently, Catherine Adams wasn t alone in her desire to save money on boxes and recycle.
Over the weekend, I saw a great Christmas post from my friend Travis Estes. His mom, Janet, absolutely won Christmas this year by wrapping a gift in a vintage department store box. Ladies and gentlemen, I present Exhibit A.
