    I need to start wrapping soon.

    Bought most of the presents already - some in the January sales - just a couple of nieces/nephews to find something for and a load of crafts and baking to do nearer the time :)


    I only have 4 hours a week where I'm safe to wrap toys (when eldest is at school and middle son at playgroup), so I definitely need to get organised after half term.

    Last year I was wrapping toys (very quietly) on the kitchen table at 1.00am Christmas Day - never again

    I have to have a Christmas wrapping Day & it has to be in December & I have to watch Christmas films/listen to Christmas music when I am doing it. It is one of my Christmas traditions! Normally do it the first weekend in December with the tree going up the 2nd weekend. I coudlnt' dio it too soon, I'm an@l about the wrapping & it has to be perfect & squashed bows do not make for perfect!

    Yes me too Lillibet. All part of christmas for me. I enjoy wrapping up the presents more than unwrapping them. I sit in front of a nice coalfire eating ferrera rocho listening to my christmas cd.

    lots of my pressies bought already. Mum started wrapping hers already when she was too broken to work and well bored. We normally drink sherry or port, which ever is closest, whilst wrapping pressies. The alchol just helps with the wrapping things up and putting the wrong labels on so people do get a real surprise on xmas day. Dont do that on purpose but we had a few errors last year

    I need to find somewhere else to hide mine, so little storage most are inthe pantry and fell on me when I went to get the sugar earlier, ooops.

    Might wrap them before I send them to someone else for safe keeping, incase the kids start snooping there (usually go to grandparents) save me dashing about just before xmas too.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
