Not wrapping tonight.
All the gifts are hidden and I will throw them all in the hiding place and do it all at once, closer to Christmas. I like wrapping. Beat boxing, too.
Ba doom boom.
Unfortunately, I am a really bad wrapper. I have a problem with it, keeping the folded stuff neat and in perfect little lines. So not my thing.My presents always look like a little kid wrapped them. The tape never works out so well either. I can never find the scotch tape, or it's double sided or green duct tape or clear mailing tape, about two inches thick.
My secret joy is using a gift bag and throwing some tissue paper over the gift. It serves the same purpose, and I have a huge box of gift bags in a bin.
I get creative with it too. One year I gave TJ his presents, and I would go into another room and come back with the present "wrapped" in a blanket. He loved it and so did I.
I have also been known to hide the present behind my back and tell the person to close their eyes. Same concept, right? Just without the pretty, folded, lovely paper.
I am somehow convinced that one year I am going to suddenly be transformed into a fantastic wrapper. I may have delusions. I probably have a better chance of being a good rapper than I do a good wrapper.
Merry Christmas. Now close your eyes.
