Happy Monday December 26, everybody-and welcome to QOTD (for the final Monday of 2016).
Today’s Question:
Do you re-use wrapping paper, ribbon, or decorative containers (from gifts you've received) ? Tins, bags, nice ribbon, not wrapping paper. Our family tends to be of the kind to rip and tear.
Extra Credit:
If you call a phone number and the person doesn’t answer, do you leave a message ? Always.
If so, is that via text msg, voicemail/answering machine, typing in a callback number, or another option ?
Bonus:
Have you ever had frostbite ? Thankfully, never.
Do your window panes get frost on them in winter ? Sometimes
Do you ever put a mug or glass in fridge/freezer to chill, before filling it with a cold drink ? There are some mugs in the freezer right now.
Do you ever warm plates in the oven (at low temp. of course) before serving a hot meal on them ? Have never done this.
Just for Fun:
At home, while cooking/eating, have you…
-gotten hair in your food ?
-gotten food in your hair ?

Do you re-use wrapping paper, ribbon, or decorative containers (from gifts you've received) ? Sure, if it is salvageable, why not?
