One facet of Christmas shopping always seems to get left out of planning

Tomorrow’s the big day, only one more full day of shopping until Christmas! I’m getting ready to make my annual raid on the stores to stock up on the presents I’ve got on my to-buy list. Hope there’s still some stuff left on the shelves. I usually wait till late in the season before I start looking for presents anyway, it’s more of a challenge then.
One of those tasks I generally overlook and one that just never seems to get onto my list of things to do is the wrapping of the gifts I buy. It’s not that I don’t ever wrap presents, it’s just that I never even think about that facet of the holiday happenings, what with being consumed with the idea of buying the correct present for the correct person at the last possible moment.
When I arrive home with my armful of goodies and head for the Christmas tree, it’s generally about that time that the thought hits me: Hey, I’ve still got to wrap all this stuff! And waiting until late in the game to go shopping as I usually do makes the wrapping part particularly difficult. The time I need to do the wrapping has to be subtracted from my sleeping time. And that’s NOT a good thing! It also explains why I like to take a nap early on a Christmas afternoon.
Perhaps one of these days, I’ll finally remember to include sufficient time in my schedule for taking care of the little details like wrapping presents, instead of just concentrating on acquiring the gifts. Hmmm... that might make a pretty decent resolution for the new year, y’think? Well, I could make the resolution, but I seldom follow them so it’d probably just be a big waste of time. |
