Because I really suck at wrapping gifts. And because my mother wraps gifts so well, we are all expected to have expertly wrapped gifts to put under the tree. My gifts…no bueno. In fact, I think I have reached a new low. This morning, I took my time with the tape and the scissors and the wrapping paper. When I finished, the gifts looked as if a seven year old had wrapped them. My sister let me hear all about it too.
Whew. Glad I got that off of my chest.
Seriously, I love this time of year because everyone is in such high spirits. We’ve been listening to Christmas music since Friday. It’s officially time to get into the spirit of the holidays.
