I love wrapping presents. I think I do it quite well, if you ask me. (Especially if the boxes are rectangular). My daughters always want to help me wrap, but I just can't stand a messily wrapped gift. I will occasionally let them put on some tape. I did this the other night and my younger daughter wrinkled every piece of tape she put on. I don't know why this bugs me so much, but it does. She also ripped one of the presents. I was able to repair it with a bit of tape, but I'm not completely satisfied with it. O well. Life goes on. I was at my grandma's house today and wrapped a lot of her presents for her. I had fun. She watched the kiddos while I wrapped because she hates to do it. It was relaxing for me. The girls kept coming and knocking on the bedroom door, where I was, making excuses for why they just HAD to come in. (them: "I have to go to the bathroom" me: "ther's another bathroom out there, use that one" them: "I need to brush my teeth and my toothbrush is in that bathroom" me: "well then, you'll just have to wait"). Yeah, I knew what they were up to. They knew I was wrapping gifts for them and they wanted to try to get a peak. I was a kid once, I know how their mischievous little minds work. I still have a few presents left to wrap at home, a couple that my hubby still needs to buy so I can wrap them, because I really didn't want to have to wrap presents on Christmas eve, but it looks like I will.

I also love wrapping presents and I tend to be a perfectionist. The paper should never be wrinkled and the edges always straight. I have even gotten paid to wrap others peoples presents. I worked in one of those mall wrapping stands. It was sooo much fun!
We never really taught our kids about Santa. My oldest knows he's not real and my younger daughter is starting to figure it out. She keeps asking if Santa is real and her sister always tells her "no". We've never labled their gifts "from santa" or anything, they know they come from us. I was torn on this issue because I was never taught to believe in Santa, my parents (dad especially) were always against all the commercialism of Santa and how it takes away from the true meaning of Christmas.
