Or in spurts? Or all at once? Do you do it ahead of time, or do you wait until the last minute?

I wrap it all at once.

I buy early and wrap early, all at once til my back can take no more ........ Then if I pick up a little something or as I finish crafts I wrap as I go..............

I haven't even started wrapping, I have to get on it. I usually get most of it together then wrap as much as i can possable take * i hate wrapping* then finish later.

I usually wrap it all at the same time, but this year I think I'll do a little at a time to save my poor back from aching.

All at once and at the very last minute. :eek:

I try to wrap everything at once and usually do it right after we've put the tree up.

I'm with Sara on this one, I do it last minute too, usually Christmas Eve and all at once. The only things that get wrapped early is for my sister because I have to mail it out. :)

I usually wrap everything all in one day, but this year I am going to wrap as I go, because I have a baby. :)

I think this year I'm going to wait until closer to the holidays. Usually I stress myself out BEFORE everyone else stresses out so that I'll finish early. It really doesn't make any sense for me to stress that way. Plus when I'm done early, everyone else is busy finishing up, and I get bored without everyone around LOL

In prevous years I've wrapped at the last minute or as I got things. However, this year I have no plans of wasting paper and have decided to only give gifts that can be put into reusable containers of some sort.. Baskets, Photo boxes, Containers etc. Gifts wrapped into other gifts. Stuff like this. I'm into no waste mode. :)

Mostly all at once though I wish I did it a little at a time. Just seems like I wait until a few days before Christmas and then hunt down my tape :mad: and get started.

I wait till I'm all done shopping. I have to be able to see what I have so I know if I need to get anything else to round out presents for the kids. I don't like to keep lists as they might be absent mindedly put down & then seen by eyes that shouldn't. ;)

I wrap as I go, this way if gifts are discovered they are wrapped.

I had to edit this because what I originally typed made no sense whatsoever LOL


I wrap last minute....

Last minute..all at once!! :eek:

It must be a hold over from days with little children.

I used to hide everything & wrap all on Christmas Eve!!

Total insanity...I know! :toothy:

I've got my kids' lists in Excel--password protected for this very reason! :laugh:

I am concidering having a "wrapping party" here at the house maybe for other moms at church or maybe for the homeschool moms in our area...

what do you think? would it be hokey?

i wrap as i go. since we don't buy a lot i can keep track in my head. i only have two kiddos so it's easy.
if i didn't wrap as i went, little noses would go where they shouldn't and find them before christmas. even a certain big nose.;) this why if they go snooping, they are already wrapped.
