Wrapping it up
Just this evening, I secured the penultimate Christmas gift on my list. I have one thing - ONE! -- left to buy.
Of course, the only gifts I have wrapped are the ones I don't want Josh to see. Which leaves approximately 40 other things to wrap. It's all in little piles in our bedroom, in front of my dresser, which prohibits me from opening the drawers, which means I can't put the laundry away, so it languishes in the basket at the foot of the bed.
Apparently I need to get busy. Or I need to wish really, really hard that the present-wrapping fairy visits my house tonight. Maybe if I leave her a glass of wine, sort of like leaving Santa a plate of cookies, she will stop at my house. I'll let you know how that works out for me.

what an awesome excuse NOT to do the laundry!
OMG, I so wish for a visit from the present-wrapping fairy. I'll leave out wine AND chocolate!
A present wrapping fairy would be awesome. I did the kids' Hanukah presents last night, but the whole Christmas orgy is stashed in our basement closet. Should have been the laundry room b/c I'm always looking for a reason to not do laundry :)
I hear ya, and I'm with ya. I don't have 40 gifts to wrap, but mine are all stashed in the attic. Other years I used to wrap them and put them under the tree right away. But this year, the kids are grasping the Santa concept, so I'm only going to put them out on Christmas Eve night.
I feel for sure the wine is a good idea:)
I second miraclebaby's opinion. That's how I get my father to wrap presents. :D
