Wrap everything in our house, although it drives me mad!

I wrap everything in our house too, usually in one night with a couple of [strike]glasses[/strike] bottles of wine. You can actually see the graduation of wrapping quality deteriate throughout the night :rolleyes:

All stocking presents are wrapped too- except for fiddly bits

if it's a present it should be wrapped.

Of course you prolong the excitement on christmas day by wrapping the small bits and using excessive amounts of cellotape- thus making them impossible to undo.

I do this to my step sons stocking fillers to stop them opening the whole stocking in 5 mins flat :T (It also give me time to grab a cup of coffee before the day starts off )

I've been told by a close friend I am mad if I wrap the stocking presents, they should just go in as they are.
I always wrap them, it doesn't seem right not to, what do you all do ?
Am I just wasting time and paper ????

You are not mad, you just do things differently to your friend.;)

For me, part of the fun of Christmas is doing things like wrapping presents. If you enjoy it too, why change your Christmas routine?

I also wrap absolutely everything. I think it makes it more exciting.

When I was a child I probably had about half wrapped and half unwrapped but I can't remember it bothering me.

Now what I did find strange is that before my hubby met me both him and his son had never had a stocking :eek: :eek: :eek:
Finding out what is in my stocking is the best bit

I've never even thought about wrapping them to be honest.

No, nor me. I was quite surprised to find people do wrap them. What a lot of wasted paper ! and extra work for me and you have to make sure the wrapping paper is completely different from the paper on other presents.
