Ann Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Although it's hard to believe, Christmas is just around the corner. I guess it's time to start asking some holiday related questions. Do you wrap each gift as you buy it or do you wait and do all of your wrapping at one time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I do the wrapping each week, if I do it too fast I end up not remembering what it is..... memory.....going???????? Should make a list but never did one yet. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I always have this bad habit of putting the gift wrapping off until the last minute and then having to do it all at once. Christmas gift giving at my house should be somewhat simplified this year, as we decided to draw names. I'll still have a ton of wrapping to do for Ella's gifts but then only one to wrap besides hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylove91297 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I always find myself wrapping them all a day or two before Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I sort of wrap as I go. Not everything at once (did that one year on Christmas Eve and was up until 2am ) so I wrap a few at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I used to wrap everything early. Not when I got it every time but reasonably early. Well my life has changed so dramaticaly in the past 6 years that I do things a lot differently. I used to never give gift cards but with the postage so high and my family far away I have done that a time or two. I had to do my shopping so soon after losing Johnny that year that I just bought without thinking. When I went to mail everything it cost me over $200. This year I am waiting until I get to Louisiana so I will have about a week and a half to shop and wrap. I'm sure glad they started making those gift bags!

Ry Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I usually wrap for several days starting in December. I have a huge list of people I buy for so I need to spread it out. I start with gifts to be mailed so they can go then move on to the work gifts because we exchange before Christmas and then the family gifts.

Ann Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Lil, I'm definitely with you on those gift bags! What a time saver they are. A pretty gift bag and lots of tissue paper can make any gift look wonderful. I always save my gift bags and use them again. Shopping in Louisiana should be fun. I love being able to shop in different places, as most of the stores here are so boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Every year is different. I am in good shape on shopping this year, BUT I have nothing wrapped. I am the ONLY one in my family that uses ribbon and bows and every year I say, not this year. But I always do because I love to see a beautifully wrapped present under the tree. So thanks for the prompt Ann, I will wrap a few tonight while watching Helio win on DWTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I just have to say I'm with you Ginny. I did think Mel should win but after last night's performance and the way Mel's partner bashed Marie I'm 100% for Helio now. I think his dance was great and once in awhile I would like to give those judges a piece of my mind Sorry this is supposed to be about Christmas wrap but I had to get in my two cents worth!

Ann Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Lil...I have to agree with you. On a show like DWTS, the performers should just smile and keep their opinions about the other performers silent. I have heard a lot of comments today about that remark Max made. Go Helio and Julianne!!!! 10,000 points for a bubbly personalities and great attitudes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
