I know....it's part of it, though. I love the anticipation.

The gift wrappings in the picture are adorable and your limerick is excellent ! Have a Happy Christmas dear one. Wrapping the gifts is a taxing job, but so rewarding in terms of mental satisfaction, eying in mind the excitement of the ones who receive them. This time I wonder what Christmas gift you are giving to Bill....

thank you, kind Valsa. I liked the picture as well. You're right, wrapping is a bit taxing but rewarding...anticipating the act of giving makes it all worth the effort. You have a Happy Christmas as well, hugs, Sara PS Bill is getting a bonsai tree...something he's wanted for years. He'll be happily trimming soon. Hope you receive a delightful gift as well. hugs, Sara

It does get a bit chaotic with wrapping paper, ribbon, tape, scissors, etc. but it's part of the holiday process. I used to add little snippets and trinkets to my gifts, too. Loved the write, Sara. I posted the Cajun Night Before Christmas for you.

Awwwn haha you've described the dilemma of gift-wrapper in such a witty way! This made me smile.. You should really write more of these fun limericks, you're so wonderful at scribbling these.. There's an innocent humor in this, I absolutely loved reading it.. Ah, paper and bows make the presents pretty but then prove to be a chaos, haha :)

glad you got a kick out of my Limerick, Hiya. Thanks for your kind words about my Limerick-writing ability. It doesn't come easy for me...sometimes I'm just way too serious...May you have a blessed weekend, hugs, Sara
