1. I love giftwrapping.
I am better at it than any guy I know. I wrapped an octagonal box last year perfectly, I have a picture of it somewhere...

7. I haven't even bought any presents yet or I'd help you!
I still have to go shopping for presents and food and clean the house! :(

Talk about procrastination! Gheesh! :banghead:

I feel like the

I'm leaving in a few minutes and have no idea what to get my son...

Everything he wants is really expensive and I'm on a very tight budget.

I might replace his "cool" sweatshirt jacket. He bought himself one with

his B-Day money and then he washed it in hot water and well, you can guess!

It fits me now! :rofl: Maybe slippers, as he lost one. Don't ask.

And what food do I get? I'm tired of planning "the meal" and cooking all of it. :(

And doing all the cleaning up. I may get pre-cooked 'whatever they've got' at the deli!

As for wrapping gifts? I'm using gift bags and tissue!

Have fun and Merry Christmas!!!

:toast:

8. I had to wrap a great big flat screen HDTV with two kittens "helping." It can't be worse than that.
I'd come help, but if I was flying 3K miles for the holidays, I'd go somewhere warmer. ;)

11. I'd love to help
I love wrapping presents, but I don't usually get to, I always end up unwrapping them, which is probably more fun!:D

14. We were motivated here. We finished wrapping everything within an hour of buying the last presents.
Y'know, last night right before all the stores closed. :)

17. I'd be happy to help out,
but you wouldn't like the result.

My mom always loved elaborately wrapped and festooned gifts. Once upon a time I tried to make every gift a work of art.

These days, I stuff them into gift bags, or wrap them in paper with no ribbon, no bows, no tag.

If you're in a hurry, I'd do the gift bags, myself. :)
