to wrap or not to wrap!!

We wrap the whole lot. I even wrap the wrap tightly before putting it in the recycling.

We did that with our sons phone, hid it and kept ringing it, he was so frustrated trying to find out where it was , it was like a treasure hunt:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:when he found it he was overjoyed, we put his favourite song of the time on it and so his ears pricked up:rotfl:

I find that really odd not to wrap a present We are all different and have different ways of doing things but i personally wrap all of mine. I def think half the excitment is unwrapping to see what you have. For me that would be like christmas with no Turkey :eek:

A friend of mine doesnt have a christmas dinner - they have a christmas day buffet :eek: :eek: They also open gifts in the afternoon :eek::eek: I think she is probably insane lol. Seriously though I love reading about how other people do it

Wrap definetly with all the beautiful paper around and bows, makes the presents look fab and builds up the excitement to unwrap them, not wrapped? Never:D

Totally agree. Presents are abit rubbish without all the fun of wrap and the anticipation..

I love wrapping presents (seriously, I think I have an addiction :A), but it's just been the done thing in our house not to wrap them from Santa. My daughter has a pram set and it will be all built up and ready for her to play with when she gets up.

I would have thought you were talking about me, but I don't have any friends :rotfl:

As well as being a phillistine and not wrapping Santa presents, we also open (most) presents after dinner. Then we argue what game to play, and then who's cheating who and who did what to who :D:D

Lol, we don't have turkey either. We save Christmas dinner until boxing day and have an all day buffet on Christmas day. I found that I always missed out because I was cooking, so I decided to change the rules.... mums are allowed to relax too ya know....... and if you asked my friends they would probably tell you that I am insane too :rotfl:, its nice to know I'm not alone!

you can still wrap the phone but make sure you turn the volume of the phone right up. You could even put a christmas ring tone on it:T

Thanks, i might just do that That'll confuse her :rotfl:

Oh but i love cooking the xmas dinner! it's the best meal of the year. Plus I think I'd have a revolt on my hands if I suggested a xmas day buffet. in fact, I might suggest it just for a bit of fun lol.
