All Wrapped Up

One of my jobs this year is wrapping all the grand children's gifts. I believe that Fisher Price has a wrapping paper company and owns 3M company, the makers of Scotch tape. Gone forever are the square and rectangle boxes and enter the trapezoid shaped items, you have to use twice as much paper and tons of tape just to get it to look half way decent. Picture trying to gift wrap an egg or a stuffed animal. No more nice looking right angled edges but just a wad of paper that is held together by six pounds of tape. It then dawned on me that the recipients of these gifts were little teeny children that have no clue of what Christmas is or are convinced that that the paper isn't a better gift than what it covers. Now knowing that I will not be critiqued on the neatness of the gifts, at least by Caden and Buddy, I can really get into it. Hmmmm, maybe I will try wrapping the dog.
