•Small Gift Idea: Popcorn gift bag. Decorate a brown sack again using either fabric or a computer to make it look like a large popcorn bag, you can make it stripped or put on a bag with a friendly face and “popcorn” pieces coming out the top. Fill the bag with a video rental coupon and microwave popcorn. The tag reads: “Hope Yule Enjoy the Show”


“SEE MOTHER”
See mother. See mother laugh. Mother is happy.
Mother has many plans for Christmas.
Mother is organized. Mother smiles all the time.
Funny, funny Mother.
See Mother. See Mother wrapping presents.
See Mother look for the scotch tape roll.
See Mother bite her fingernails.
See Mother go.
See Mother run.
See Mother trim the tree.
See Mother have a party.
See Mother make popcorn.
See Mother wash the walls.
See Mother scrub the rug.
See Mother tear up the organized plans.
See the faraway look in Mother’s eyes.
Mother has become disoriented.
Funny, funny Mother.
