The boys have been busy this morning (Christmas Eve) wrapping their Dad's Christmas presents:
Ted: "I've bought socks - you can never have too many socks!"
Ginger: "My gift is a pair of Santa slippers - hehehe!"
Nobby: "I decided to get Dad an umbrella - he lost the last one!"
Matching gift tag for the Wholly Holly gift paper.
So 1970s! This dark avocado green and sketchy style makes me recall childhood Christmas mornings!
Thrift store find. By Gibson Papers. It was new in package until I removed the crappy plastic paper!

When it comes to gift-giving, I actually enjoy wrapping the presents more than buying them. I guess I like the creativity that's involved. Rather than seeing gift wrapping as a chore, I view it as an opportunity to create small, temporary works of art.
I'm fascinated by what a little paper, tape and ribbon can do to an ordinary cardboard box, and I'm amazed at how quickly my artistic efforts are transformed into a pile of debris ready to be hauled out with the trash. Ahhhh ... the joys and realities of the creative life!
I thought the selection of wrapping paper and ribbon this year was especially good. A quick trip to The Container Store, CVS Pharmacy and Wal-Mart produced the ingredients for the packages you see in this picture. The results were a joy to give and receive, and I believe that's how gift-giving should be.
Of course ...
Inner beauty is always paramount, but if you've got that one covered, a nice presentation is the icing on the cake.
May every gift you receive be beautiful ... inside and out.
Merry Christmas!

When you get to ten, some of your presents become clothing.
Younger children get toys, their clothes are issued when they need them and are not used as Christmas or birthday presents.
At least they are not red ones.

They might have put some toy cars inside the boots
I found a HUGE batch of wrapping paper at an estate sale. The lovely lady saved every single scrap of paper. While they are not all in the best condition or large pieces, I do love all of the variety and prints that were there.
