I have something to tell you.
It is common practice on December 23rd for me to complete a marathon presesnt wrapping session. Because the truth is, I really dislike wrapping presents. I mean, I really, really, dislike it. Which is kinda weird since I love to craft and make stuff. So, I usually put it off until the last possible moment.
If I could stick everything in a gift bag--or even better--just slap a tag with the person's name on it, I would.
But some people don't really like getting their Christmas gifts in the Walmart or Target sack they left the store in-----whatever....so peer pressure and the opinions of others force me to wrap gifts.
Because I got a jump start on the wrapping when I cleaned up my closet for the garage sale, I felt inspired to spend yesterday afternoon wrapping gifts, adding ribbons, and putting on tags.
Then today, I spent another hour or two working on wrapping. And in the end, I have all my gifts (that I've bought so far) wrapped and ready for Christmas.
It is kind of weird.
Very nice, but kind of weird.
I doubt that it will ever happen again.
Unless I make the garage sale an annual fall project.
Then maybe I could do it again.
But then I have to have a garage sale again and that sounds like an awful lot of work that I would prefer to avoid.
Maybe it is time to teach the boys' how to wrap gifts.....
Blessings friends,
Tracey
I (for some strange reason) really enjoy wrapping gifts. Too bad you don't like closer - I'd be happy to take up wrapping duty. :)
ReplyDeleteI made the mistake or wrapping early one year, then as Christmas approached, I felt let down with nothing left to do. I had already done all the prep work for dinner, so I felt at a loss LOL.
