Don't worry I'm atrocious at wrapping everything. I even struggle to wrap a perfect box. :roll:

Well, the snow has returned to Dublin in force. Oh joy.

Also, whoever came up with the idea that Christmas presents needed to be wrapped deserves a punch.

I just tape the bag it came in up. Lazy, maybe, do I care, no.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I couldn't get the corners to fold properly, so I just cut certain parts off until it looked like it was wrapped. :lol:

Wrapping always sucks. It sucks more when you're halfway through and that thought hits you..."Did I remember to take the price tags off EVERYthing?"

My mom used to leave the tags on. She'd say, "The price of the gift lets people know how much you care."

If she spent less than five bucks on you, she wanted you to know :happydevil:

You don't have to gift wrap cash. Just saying. :wink:

I have. Even more fun - put a single dollar bill in each of a bunch of balloons, then blow them up separately. :twisted:

I never bother taking the tags off. I just... don't care.

My mom once pasted dollar bills inside a roll of toilet paper. I started to unroll it on christmas morning, and I was quite surprised. 8)

Good thing you didn't just grab it and run off to use it.

And... it's lightly snowing out. Not even covering the ground. Or sticking, for that matter.
