Good morning and happy Tuesday!

Last night I was up late playing Santa, i.e. wrapping all the presents for my kids. 4 kids for Christmas means a lot of wrapping. Me & my wife split the kids down the middle and, yea, pretty even in terms of number of gifts. So, that's good.

If you celebrate, are you all prepped for Christmas? Do you have all your gifts wrapped / bought?

Let me know!

Either way, hope you all have a great day!

jcrabapple,

@jcrabapple It's a lot! Still have some left to do for extended family, my wife, myself, etc. But the kids are done - and that's most of the battle.

@mdmrn I have all the gifts just haven't had time to wrap them 🙃 I'm also poo at wrapping so I should definitely get on that

@kaspurr I hear that! When I wrap poorly and the kids notice, I just tell them it must be one of those Elves on the Shelf doing a bad job of it :Hehe:

@mdmrn As much as possible, we order our gifts pre-wrapped. Sure saves time.

Then again, at least one gift for our kids isn't coming until the 27th...

@negativeprimes Did you say...pre-wrapped? What kind of sorcery is that!!! :Hehe:

@mdmrn It’s the real secret to Amazon's success.

@mdmrn bought but not wrapped. Don't even have the tree up yet... 🎄🎁🎁

@skyfire747 Oh my! When do you normally get your tree up? Is this late or pretty normal for you guys? I know some folks do trees very early and others closer to Christmas day.

We did ours the week after Thanksgiving.

@mdmrn we are usually fairly late in doing it. Some years we haven't done it until Christmas eve, but I want to do it a bit earlier than that this year.

As for present wrapping I just use bags, makes things so much easier and they can be reused next year. 😃

@skyfire747 Bags! What a genius idea!

We've been using designated wrapping paper for each kid to make it easier (for us). Not the same designated wrapping paper each year, but still.

@mdmrn @skyfire747
We put our tree up on Saturday. We usually have it up for 2-3 weeks. We also (re)use bags every year. But I can understand how much easier it would be for a large family when each person's packages have a specific wrapping paper.

@HeatherFromTexas @skyfire747 Reusing bags for Christmas is such a new concept for me. I've never seen it before. But definitely like the idea!!

But yea - 4 kids, each having a unique wrapping paper for Christmas morning so it's easier to track whose presents are whose.

@mdmrn think we’re at like 10% wrapped. Oof. :)

@mdmrn@urusai.social avatar

@tasthesose Oof! That's rough. I hated that we're this last minute and I still need to wrap stuff for my wife / myself. But - you got this!!
