If I never see another roll of wrapping paper
it will be too soon! I just spent almost 3 hours wrapping the kids' presents to put under the tree tomorrow night. I stopped counting at 24; I think there were around 30 or so. That doesn't count what we wrapped on Sunday. We got several things that were combination gifts (for all the kids or for the whole family). There are just a few more things out in hubby's truck that need to be wrapped. (I think I'll let him do it.)
Oh, and don't believe anyone when they say all wrapping paper is created equal. I could definitely tell a difference between the Hallmark paper and the Target paper. The Target paper did not cut as neatly and tore much more easily. I love hitting the after Christmas sales at Hallmark to get pretty paper!

You know I've wondered about that paper difference. I tried to tell msyelf that one was just old. Now I think you nay be right. It was where I bought it!
Since I'm a horrible wrapper, I can't tell the difference. As long as it's bright and shiny and sparkles under the tree, I'll buy it. But shiny is the key, as I'm attracted to bright things ;)
Since we've always put things under the tree ahead of time, I just wrap as I buy...I'm sure I spent a lot of time wrapping (and with only one kid and the Spouse Thingy you'd think it wouldn't be very much) but 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there doesn't feel too bad.
But shiny... yes...shiny... :)
The presents I wrapped today were for my 4 kids and the "family" presents from Santa. My extended family is too large to buy for. Heaven help us if we tried to do that!
