		<description>Great idea!  It is always good to have something like this on hand.  Rite Aid has the poinsettia&#039;s for $4.99 {and they&#039;re a pretty good size}.</description>

		<description>Hi Susan,

I&#039;m afraid I don&#039;t remember. I&#039;ve had a few of those stars on my tree for a while. I&#039;m thinking they came from an after Christmas clearance sale at Target. That&#039;s where most of my newer ornaments came from.</description>

		<description>What a simple yet cute idea! I have a bunch of empty food storage cans waiting for some type of project. I saw an idea that you can put Christmas presents in them. Wrapping the can with wrapping paper and putting a bow on the top. Perfect for odd shaped items!
