Don’t Judge a Gift by Its Wrapping
I love Christmas. It is my favorite time of the year: family, friends, gifts, magic…the snow, the tree, the lights… What isn’t fun for me, though, is wrapping gifts. In fact, it is so not fun that my gift wrapping skills are legendary. Mind you, my gifts look fine, but I was born without the Gift Wrapper gene because my gifts are never wrapped perfectly. There’s always some bumps and the seams aren’t perfectly straight and sometimes my bows are lopsided. Sometimes, I use handmade tags (from the wrapping paper) and apparently that’s not done. Oops. Anyway, my mom and I were discussing what else? but gift wrapping and how awful mine is. She and my sister have double the Gift Wrapper gene because their gifts are always wrapped perfectly. There are no ragged seams; the bows are perfect; there are no bumps. They’re gorgeous. Works of art. See, they are into the whole “presentation” thing and it shows. And that’s really cool…if you’re them.
