Who wraps?
« on: December 23, 2018, 06:06:43 PM »
 I wrap most  of the gifts at our house. I am pretty good at it even if i don't use ribbon or bows. I dont mind and my wife doesn't like it and gladly admits i  am better at it. Either that or she just say it  to get me to wrap..........

How about at your house?

I used to. I am, or at least was, pretty good at it including the bows and ribbons. I even hide all the tape so there is none to be seen on the wrapping. I used to do it all but lost all interest and won't do it all anymore. I will wrap gifts for the J.A.F.E.tte and that's it.

I only wrap Mandy's gifts (and I hate it), other then that she is a wrapping perfectionist so I leave her in a room alone.....

Mrs GF does it - I have tried and succeeded, but have no patience for it anymore. Mrs GF on the other hand really enjoys it.

It's only The Wife and me now, so I only wrap for her. When I worked in bookstores I had to wrap a lot of books and got pretty good at it. The secret is having good heavy paper. I hate cheap paper.

I used to, til lately the paper Is thinner than the stuff on the white roll in the bathroom.   Sometimes I would use the Sunday colored comic section for wrapping paper.

No wrapping for me, it's an annual joke here that if necessary my daughters or wife do it.

I will use the holiday bags and boxes or let Amazon take care of it.

I can wrap presents.  Not much different than working with sheet metal.

I can rap a bit, but am often compared to Vanilla Ice so when I wander down to the honky tonk, I just put quarters in the juke box and play some DAC and get the eye roll from the bartender.

My rapping days are over.





Oh...was that a different topic you were expecting?
