Good morning Team. I finally got all the presents wrapped. What a job! All that bending to cut, tape, etc., took it's toll on my back.

Ugh, present wrapping Never been good at it, don't like doing it and always waste way too much tape & paper.

not really.

for some reason even though she has 2 siblings in town, they aren't that close.

My sister comes down to my mom's every weekend, but my sister has 7 kids...sooooooooo I am think that is probably not a help.

So yeah, my poor mom! She is hanging in there pretty well though.

Send number 1 son down to help her out, he's a good boy and has been away from home for extended periods in the past

DW's aunt (now 100) prides herself on NO tape, ribbons to hold it together, always well done. On the other hand, my younger sister? You would think she owned a bunch of Scotch brand stock and feels the need to increase their sales.

Sounds like my kind of wrapping! The more tape, the better chance it will hold together until the recipient gets it

I've been known to use the hot melt gun when I can't find the tape!

Many, many moons ago, when the world and I were young, I spent a holiday season working in the gift wrapping department of a store that offered free wrapping with a purchase - how do you say "madhouse?" We were taught to use 3 strategically placed pieces of tape, and "put some ribbon on it, or it will look like it came from _____ (another rather upscale department store)." We even made our own bows. So yeah, I can wrap like a pro.

Now, that sounds like my dream job - right after jamming bamboo slivers under my fingernails.
