All the presents have been purchased, and the last two
trees decorated. This morning is the 20th of December. Not bad.
Of course, there’s still lots to do, namely present
wrapping. Speaking of which…there was a time when after watching Pam do it for
ten years or so I had become relatively respectable at applying ribbon to a
Christmas present. Not anymore. A couple of nights ago after buying all of Pam’s
presents in less than two hours at the mall, I settled down at what used to be
our dinner table but for the next 5 days will serve as present wrapping
central. Because these were Pam’s gifts I determined to take great care and
make them as festive as possible. This meant that ribbons would have to be
included. I submit the following photograph for your consideration:
First, I should point out that I was stone cold sober
at the time and no animals were hurt in the process of wrapping this present. I
just don’t understand what happened. I used to be a passably decent wrapper of
presents. What happened? Maybe with the passage of time, I’m losing some of my
fine motor skills. Perhaps my vision was playing tricks on me, throwing off my
depth perception. Or maybe I should have had a couple of beers first!
Luckily, Pam was very
understanding. “Oh…look at you. That’s ….adorable.”
