Wrapping

Today’s holiday adventure is all about wrapping. I don’t know about all of you, but we have been collecting wrapping paper for years and have a crazy collection of thirty or more rolls of colored, festive wrap that goes on forever. There is the tissue thin recycled type. There is the heavy double sided, the single sided with cut lines, the plain back and the metal foil. There are the bags of different sizes, the rainbow tissue paper, and bows and ribbon. In another bag we store Christmas boxes. Remember we moved much of this not only from Missouri but from Alaska. Why is anybody’s guess, but we did.

Anyway, today’s holiday adventure is the wrapping of gifts. We have small ones, large ones, some irregularly shaped, and one in perfect squares. The only question remaining is how many times I lose the scissors, the tape, and the paper I want. To avoid this inevitable frustration, my husband and I have collected three pairs of scissors and three rolls of tape. We’ll see if that helps. My record is five minutes in and I am hunting for tools.
