Daddy Wraps

Ok, spent some time late last night wrapping up some presents for my sister--my bride and the boys. I took the man's easy way out on hers, using the gift bags method then just sealing those with tape...perfect. But the boys gifts were too big to fit a bag, so it meant having to actually wrap the gift. I'm a lousy wrapper. In December of 1990 when I was a Marine stationed in Korea and we were doing our own Toys for Tots program to get toys for a local orphanage, my duty schedule only allowed me time to volunteer to wrap. I got there, and wrapped two gifts and was summarily relieved of my duties as wrapper and told my services were no longer needed. (Marine wives can be cruel) So last night again, I let my wicked wrapping skills loose on a few things for the boys. It went downhill as I went. The first one I wrapped came out ok...but pretty lousy by department store standards. The last one was so bad it kept ripping, but rather than starting over, I just kept taping up the holes with excess paper. It will be an easy one for them to open no doubt.
