Yesterday, December 5, was Dutch 'Sinterklaas'. Saint Nicholas, a generous bishop, travels to Holland to give all children presents. His helpers throw the presents down the chimneys - as seen above. So the image for the 5th is this not very pc wrapping paper I found at my mother's house, from the seventies I guess.

For Father's Day, 2006, my wonderful daughter wrapped a present to me in this self-created wrapping paper. Of course, this is the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. She knows it's my favorite iconic image from my favorite movie.

One of the Christmas presents my parents sent me this year was this 3DS game. It's gotten kind of terrible reviews so far, but I want to play it anyway. More on why that is here: www.thegaygamer.com/2014/12/santa-brought-me-this-copy-of...

I created some custom wrapping paper with a roll of brown kraft paper, paints, and simple foam stamps. It was fun to do, and I like the way it came out, but tape didn't stick to it very well when I wrapped the package! Oh well -- I used ribbon to hold it together instead.

That's my oldest daughter Jazi, back in 1988 at my high school graduation party. I know, she's got a red and green bow in her hair, but I think my brother took her in my mom and dad's bedroom and entertained her with some bows and wrapping paper. She would have been 7 months old in this picture. My brother Jeff, who is holding her, is now almost 42. Jazi is going to be 22 this year. It was really a blast from the past finding this pic, seeing mom and dad's room with paneling on it, their old bed, I remember their blanket even. I did some restoring on this photo. It has been tucked away in a box for a long time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I just realized that some of my gift wrap papers (those in sheets, not in rolls) are actually 1:sqrt2 rectangles. Who would've thought.

It's not of standard A sizes (neither it's B or C series for that matter), but the ratio is just exactly right. I don't know about you guys, but it's a big deal to me :D

I know it's terribly wasteful, but I love wrapping presents with shiny paper and ribbon. I can do without the shiny paper, but the ribbon is an indulgence that I would rather not do without. I try my best to reuse it though. Last year I used the last of my old ribbon, but luckily I hit the jackpot the only time I've been to Costco this year. No dollar store selection could compete with what I found there.
