Christmas Kite

I can't speak for others but at my house every Chrismas season there is always pieces of gift wrapping paper laying around everywhere. Now it is forbidden to even think about wrapping a gift in the old paper left over from last year, I guess its just a 'wife thing' but if you intend on keeping peace in the family take my advice and just go along with it and life will go along at a much easier pace.

With all the short pieces and small rolls of paper left from last Christmas guess what I do with it, you're right a Christmas kite is born.

I usually make about a forty inch Diamond kite with ribbon tails and fly it at every chance I get through the Christmas season. There is a lot you can say about traditions and the way we celebrate holidays but there's one thing for sure -- You can't say Santa doesn't fly over my house!
