Title: not a single gift is wrapped yet
Post by: Valerie1979 on December 24, 2010, 08:40:00 am
YIKES...
I am home with my 3 year old today and I haven't wrapped anything...
I hope to wear him out so that he will take a nice long nap to allow me to wrap presents this afternoon!

Good luck and I hope he will take a nap soon, so you can have enough time to do what you need to do.
Or I won't mind give you a hand, I love wrapping gifts!!! :)

Everything is all tucked away in gift bags.  I have lots of them.

I hate wrapping gifts.  But it must be done and the end reward is worth it.  I try to get them wrapped at the store.

DONE.... gift wrapping success during nap time.  Not even sure he was sleeping when i started, but I did successfully avoid my dear son knowing what I was doing.... now the gifts are put away until he is sleeping tonight.

Even got my hubby's presents wrapped without him seeing them.

I finished wrapping mine very late last night.  Unusual for me to wait that long, but this year I'm in a new place so half my time was trying to figure out a new "system" for decorating for the holidays, that things just got away from me.  Can't believe I made it just under the wire.   ;D

It will be easy. There are few ways to wrap the gifts in an easy way. Good luck!!! Merry Christmas

Talking about just under the wire.  I woke up 6:15 in the morning to find out my son's so-called gift from "Santa" had not been wrapped and my husband was snoring away on the sofa.  So I had to quickly removed those gift from under a blanket in the closet.   Five big boxes of lego sets--were placed under the tree and I just attached a bow to them with a label from Santa.  I went to the kitchen to throw out the milk for Santa--that had been sitting all night.  Ate one of the pears and went back to sleep.  About an hour later my son is calling me to come to the living room because he got his gifts from Santa.  It didn't matter to him that Santa didn't have time to wrap his gifts or that he only had one of the pears he left for him.  But I kept saying over to myself, how long are we going to keep this up?  But this was a great Christmas after all!

Why bother wrapping anything? It's a waste of resource; both monetary and natural.
That and it's just a hassle when you want to open something.
Why does it really matter how it looks when the wrap goes straight to the garbage anyways?

I didn't say how I was wrapping them..... don't assume i'm not concerned with our economy or environment :)  there are many resources available to wrap that are reusable.
