We are Christmas people. That means that we wrap a lot of gifts. That doesn't mean we spend a lot of money. We give underwear and kitchen things and stupid things someone gave to us. Our family likes the sound of tearing paper on Christmas...

My question is, how do you wrap gifts? Our oldest daughter always has a theme, and all of her gifts are always this years paper and tags, all very sophisticated. Our Helene is a bag woman and she deftly sticks hers into gift bags (recyled from as far back as the civil war) adds some tissue (also reused) and she is good to go.

Sweetie wraps with the seam upward. He doesn't invert his package. We always know when the seam is on the top, it is from dad.

I put messages on mine.... to you from Elmer the elf. To you from the parent who loves you most, etc. etc. I think they are clever. The others groan a lot.

Some people don't wrap at all. Some people don't give gifts, but we do.

So what ever you do on Christmas, may it be joyful and happy and lovely and good. May your main gifts be in your heart and to your heart. Merry Christmas from us.

Please talk about how your gifts are wrapped at your house.
