Wrapping Presents
Well the freezing weather is really here this time, this morning it is 15 degrees and my car just didn't want to go when I had to taxi my g-daughter to school. I finally got all my presents wrapped yesterday, ugh, hate wrapping. Of course when I got them all around the tree, I then had to figure out where to move them so I can get in to the Christmas lights turn-off. Then I had to make a spot to water the tree so I now have almost all my presents under the tv. Having the packages there makes it almost impossible to get to my cordless phone. (If I move presents again they will be in front of the fireplace). I have to chuckle at my thoughts of my mom at Christmas time (she passed away in 2000). She also hated to wrap presents so finally she started wrapping them in tin foil. No one cared and we always knew who the presents were from. I think it was the light weight Christmas paper she hated more (and me too) because most of it tears so easily. I think I have at least two packages with a hole in it. My mom would always buy the heavier foil. At least one person will wrap one present in foil now as a way to remember my mom with a real smile on our faces.

Good for you in getting your presents wrapped. Great memories ... the tin foil sounds like an idea worth trying. Merry Christmas!
