4AM the perfect time to wrap presents while the terrific trio sleeps, sleeps away. Even the human lojac sleeps through it all - - the shining light, the cutting of the paper, the tape being torn, the folding of the paper, the writing on the name tag, and the placing of the bow. The baby even slept through the various Christmas albums that kept me company.
Last year, I stocked up on Christmas paper. Before I began wrapping, I pondered whether to use my favorite wrapping paper on the kids' presents or on others. TTT or other loved ones? Who gets to enjoy my wonderful brilliant find of A Christmas Story wrapping paper? My other loved ones. I mean it's A Christmas Story wrapping paper, my children are too young to truly appreciate it. I had to share the joy of the movie via wrapping paper to others, when TTT are old enough I will introduce them to the glory of one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made.
One decision down, next I decided to take Christmas in a new direction this year. I gave everyone their own Christmas paper. Oma's is Santa standing next to a Christmas tree on blue paper. Jory's is a simple, but elegant green and white stripe. Rowan's is a snowman on a dull green paper. And Layla's is snowmen in groups of three on lively green paper. This new system in theory will make handing out Christmas presents easier on that glorious Christmas morn.
Aww, the genius ideas you get when wrapping presents in the Christmas spirit with Christmas tunes buzzing in your ears at 4AM.
