Put-off-ski

That’s what I have been the last 3 weeks on wrapping my Christmas presents this year. I’m not the only one, Jacks was just saying “I swear I will pay someone a crisp 50 dollar bill just to wrap these things and I will even supply the paper and tape.” He hates it as much as I. Luke is no better but Julie usually is weaseled into doing all his wrapping. I don’t mind the shopping, or the idea of thinking of buying the presents, it’s the wrapping that kills me.
It’s the idea of cutting the paper and then figuring out what way to wrap it. I usually make the pointy ends and box it up, never do I get the paper patterns to meet and match. The bows won’t stick and I always seem to place them in the wrong spot so they get crushed.
I met with the contractor on Saturday about the café. It looks very promising and Bee is all in a thither to get started. She has color schemes and ideas flowing with all the kinds of foods she wants to try. Wonders if she likes wrapping?
Mom and G and I did last minute shopping, Christmas Eve G wants to have a big family party. I don’t mind it so much, I’m sure there will be turmoil for some of them that spend time with the “other side” of their families on that night. Luke won’t be able to make it since they live so far away but promises to come home soon to see everyone. I remember when I was little and we would have these parties away, I was scared Santa would come to my house and I was not there and awake. Then I aged a bit and liked them because it made the night go by much faster which means Christmas morning would be there soon.
Lori has her shopping down to a fine art, and the wrapping as well. Maybe it’s something in the female gene that likes to do this? Her presents are all under the tree with bows and huge cards attached. Everyday she looks under there for something from me to her and doesn’t find them. They are still in my closet not wrapped; I guess purchasing things early doesn’t help much if you don’t wrap them as well. Next year I plan on doing just that.
So for now I will just avoid my closet for another day or so and then break down and begin wrapping. Jacks you have too as well!
