The Christmas Code

My mom was a tricky lady when it came to Christmas at our house. She would wrap our presents and then put a roman numeral code on each present that represented which one of us 5 children the present was for. Very tricky. The only problem was that when Christmas morning came she couldn't remember her code. So she would guess and we would end up opening the wrong presents. "Oh, um thanks for the tube socks?" "Oh! Those are not yours. Here, give them to me, there for your brother." See how fun Christmas morning was at our house?

Here is my code to keep the boys guessing. I had them up in arms trying to figure out who was Dufus.



My precious tree decorated by Rufus and Dufus.
