Done!

I've got a Secret!

Chimmie "helping" Linda wrap last year.
What a wet and chilly day!  I'm glad we did two long walks yesterday because it looks like we are stuck inside all day today.  Linda has been a busy bee this morning.  Studying and laundry earlier, then she left to finish her Christmas shopping.  She got all the stocking stuffers and the last few gifts for Sarah and Taylor all done.  Now comes the wrapping!  Ugh.  She so dislikes that part.  There is a joke in our family to wrap a few of the presents in the worse possible way.  Taylor always wins, not because he tries to make it look bad, he just rushes and uses whatever odds and ends of paper he can tape together.  We also have a tradition not to sign our real names on the gift tag.  You have to use all the pets names, dead or alive, then you can start putting crazy names like "From: Rudolph; or From: Frosty.  The solution to all the wrapping frenzy; go to the Dollar Store and buy a bunch of gift bags and tissue.  This way she can just shove the present in the bag and top it with tissue paper!  Sounds like a plan to me.
