Well, another day done and some last minute shopping on behalf of The Chap.
As he is out this evening on his work do I finally got round to the wrapping.
I have nearly finished (see photo). All the paper was bought in January like my cards. I always get a roll for about 20p and buy 3 or 4 rolls to last me 12 months.
Grab a plain colour or non seasonal paper so you can use it throughout the year.
The tags are from last years Christmas cards. I cut them up and then pop them into a drawer ready for the following Christmas. No one really cares what a tag looks like especially youngsters. It is just to identify who gets to open an exciting looking parcel and who to thank for it after.
I bet everyone else is far more organised than I with my last minute wrapping. But I have planned to do this, this evening for a while now.
I feel very festive wrapping gifts with a DVD of the Albert Finney "Scrooge" on the television. I bought it years ago on offer from the supermarket. And every year it gets watched while I wrap.
My very own Christmas tradition.
Happy holidays!
Frugally yours

I have most of my wrapping done. Now, the rest of my family has to start.
