fabric xmas wrap

I know I'm a freak but when I think about all the wrapping paper that gets thrown away at xmas it causes me an almost physical pain. A few years ago (3 actually) I decided that I would just make a variety of fabric gift bags in xmas prints to re-use every year. Well . . . I never did make the fabric into bags, but I use it to wrap our gifts every year anyway. The past two years I taped it in place - it holds just fine, you won't want to throw it around a lot or anything - and then I used curling ribbon in different colors to designate which family member the gift was for. This year I didn't bother with the tape (I hate spending the time pulling it off later) and just tied yarn in different colors around the packages to hold it all in place. I think it looks really nice and this year I had all the fabric re-folded and ready to put away by the time the last presents were opened.
