I'm doing the baking thing today, and the wrapping thing today. I used to love to wrap gorgeous packages, but I would always feel so destroyed as the "unwrapper" tore at the thoughtful job. Now your lucky if I use tape! A beautiful wrapping job is for yourself alone, the recipient of the gift might think: "Lovely package, riiiiiiiip" and your thinking: "Jesus F'n Christ I spent $10 on the wrap and accessories for that gift have some god damned respect". Christmas cards are another story altogether, this year alone I've bought 3 boxes, I've sent none. I think I'll get on that today as well, it's hard when you work in retail, you've literally got 100's of people sucking what's left of your brainreserve daily, then your supposed to be all holly jolly at home, some years that doesn't happen for moi, some years it's kick the cats for looking at you and off to bed to rejuvenate for the next day of work. And lord knows with the back issues this fall and the physical therapy, I'm way behind in the Christmas Spirit, I shall now bitchslap the Ghost of Christmas Present and get thy holly jolly ass in gear.
