Olivia-Newton John album - totally priceless!
And the matching wrapped packages only make you look a little gay - just a bit :) Fun tag!
I guess I'm a little gay too, because I love the perfectly matched packages, with real ribbon. I actually got personalized brown and red wrapping paper last year!
And I love me some eggnog!
Everyone makes fun of my wrapped packages because they have to be PERFECT!!
People have always wondered if my husband is gay because he wraps gifts so beautifully that people don't want to open them.He refuses to let a package go without ribbon and a bow, and has been known to grab gifts from under the tree that I've wrapped, and add ribbon.To watch him wrap is something that everyone should see. I need one of those galleries, like in an operating room, where people can look down and watch the production. He always drinks wine, plays Christmas music, and crys a little.:D
Linda--EXACTLY!! It's an ART!
I remember a time when I tried to wrap a present and used so much paper I had to start using another type of paper. By the end of it, the present was a giant lump.
Gift wrapping is not my best skill.
That was SO fun! Thanks! I just spent the greater part of my afternoon doing that. You know, since was supposed to do quarterly taxes and all....this was WAY more important! You guys sound so sweet. I wish I knew you!!
Well , Actually I am extra-special cuz' I was raised with a FAB-O gay brother who wraps presents that are LITERALLY a SIN to open ,they are so beautiful. Also, all my friends were SO jealous cuz' they wanted a brother who would buy them pink legwarmers(80's) in JUST the right color & I didn't even have to ask for them, he just knew! I know I was spoiled!

I am an "okay" wrapper, I do my best. My sister Kat...well she always seems to end up wrapping mine (yeah the parents shirk their duties)and she...sucks. LOL. I it looks like it is barely kept together and she uses SO much tape I have trouble opening it if it is a box...man...someone ELSE wrap my presents!! LOL. Okay for YOU guys I will post this tommorrow, cuz I already did 2 posts tonight, LOL. But one is just a funny video so I am NOT THAT bad...or not! :)

We don't have any traditions yet...Just that we go home to our families to bum good turkey.
Just found your blog through a friend. I love it!
My husband is slightly gay when it comes to Christmas music. He seems to have found the only radio station that is playing Christmas music this early. He makes all of his co-workers listen to it at work, and then he tortures me when he gets home.
AAGH!!! Baa-hum-bug
If pretty wrapping makes you look gay, well then, I am so NOT gay. I HATE wrapping presents. I avoid it and do only a fair job wrapping when I can't pawn it off onto a child to it for me. I LOVE the shopping part though, and I work really hard to make sure I get people something they want and will love. Makes me happy.I love Christmas though, and love the music and the SHOPPING, did I mention I like to shop?
