Motivate yourself with your ticker in your signature. Only 25 more sleeps to go. lol

Happy cutting and taping.

Are you a perfectionist wrapper? Bows etc? How many different patterns/rolls of paper?

I'm a bow person. I like adding bows to presents. I try to wrap according to the recipient, so only one pattern of paper per person. Just makes it easier.

I think it's great your hubby will help. That would not happen over here. lol He helps me place gifts, but not the wrapping part.

Thanks ,DH and I are wrapping this weekend he said. As far as the way I wrap, I like bows and alot of diffrent paper but this year I did not buy to much paper. so iam guessing it might be one kind per person. Not sure yet . I wanted to try to wrap some in news paper to see if i like it.

I just wait for a nice snowy day, grab the hot chocolate, put on some christmas music and wrap away.

I need SNOW to get into it lol.

Well, you can do what I did. I had two of my nieces over one day and had them wrap my dd's gifts. They love to wrap. I then had another niece over to wrap the stocking stuffers for the previous two nieces. lol Just goes to show sometimes large families do pay off! By the way I am making a stocking for the 3rd niece and I plan on having dd's wrap every thing for her.

I completely agree. I can't seem to get in the spirit to wrap either. Of course I never enjoy the wrapping, when the kids were still at home DD would always do it. I guess I need to set aside a day and just get busy and get some done.

Since everyone seems to want gift cards this year, including 14 yr. old dd, I have maybe 8 presents that need wrapping. Dd loves to wrap, so she will do the honors. I will however make my homemade bows for the packages. This is gonna be a stress free Christmas!!! WooHoo!!!!!

I am with you on this one, I used to LOVE wrapping but when I started being the only one doing it I got mad/upset that I had to do it alone while everyone else slept, including DH so I gave up and use Gift Bags or put all the kids toys in one big gift sack.
