Okay, so Wrapped Up in Christmas Love is the title of my latest book and I love talking about Zach & Isabelle's story. But, for once, I'm actually talking about a different type of being Wrapped Up in Christmas Love. :)
So, I haven't started decorating for Christmas yet. I usually do this the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We have a family gathering at my house on "Black Friday" and I like having the house look fallish for that dinner. However, my son & his wife will be home for Christmas the week of December 8th so we are doing Christmas early so as many of us as can be together at once can celebrate together.
When I start thinking about decorating, then I have to think about presents. I've got some work to do there as I've only bought gifts for the Grands. :) For those sweeties, I'm ahead of the game. :) Not that I've wrapped any of those adorable gifts, but I'll share one from last year. We've had a lot of fun with this blue bear & book. :)
Which leads me to what my blog is actually about--wrapping presents! Are you an expert wrapper to where every gift is in matching paper and ribbon? Do you just wrap them up with whatever paper has caught your eye? Do you buy bags and put the presents inside? Or the gift boxes where you just place the present into them? Or more like me and have a smorgasbord of all of the above?
I have started doing a wrapping trick to make my life a little simpler. I try to use the same paper for an event. That means if I'm going to my parents, I try to wrap all the presents that go to their house for various family members in the same or similar paper. I also try to put them all together. For Michael's family, I use different paper and try to put those presents together. And, so forth. When I do this, it makes my life much less stressful. I don't want to forget anyone's gift and feel this helps cut down on the risk of my doing that. It also helps keep me from having to dig around under the tree. I tend to knock ornaments off when I do that, so my not having to do that is a good thing.
How about you? Do you have any great wrapping tricks/tips that simplify your life?
