Wrapping

Okay......I'll admit it!

I'm a bit of a fanatic about how I like my Christmas presents wrapped.

It dates back to my stint in retail at a high end kitchen store,

where I received formal instruction in gift wrapping.

I like them to look nice.

I use double sided tape.

And I only ever use real ribbon.

My paper has a color theme.

It's nothing to be ashamed about.

This year my present wrapping ideals have been challenged.

I've had help in the form of a four year old.

There is tape everywhere.

Ribbons don't match.

Gift cards are being written in four year old script.

(Santa may have a bit of a challenge on his hands this year)

And yet, this year, the presents under my tree 

are the most beautiful ever.

This one is for you Papa.

And for the record, the other side of this gift tag is BLUE
Not part of the approved color scheme for Christmas 2011.
