Gift wrapping

Wrapping gifts really should be easy. A little paper, a little ribbon, and a little girl . . . oh, wait a minute, maybe it isn't so easy. "But she's having so much fun," you say, as you watch about ten dollars in ribbon go up in knots.

Seriously, is your shopping done? Are the gifts wrapped? Are you ready for the Christmas morning rush, or are you still rushing around? Have you gone exploring around your house to find out what you're getting, or are you exploring because you don't remember where you hid someone's gift? Perhaps you've been intercepting email confirmation notices from online catalogs.

We have one simple rule in our house, if you find out what you're getting ahead of time, you don't get it. It just reinforces the concept that Christmas is about giving, not getting.
