One thing that I've had reinforced over the weekend is that I absolutely suck at wrapping gifts. Its really sad. It looks like that I was getting stung by multiple bees while attempting to wrap something. Then my wife comes in and says shes in a hurry and didn;t have time to wrap something nice and it looks 100 times better than my attempt. lol

Meanwhile, my missus complimented me on the wrapping of my packages, opining that the recipients will be pleased by the appearance of my gifts.

I can't wait to wrap the mop and broom I got my wife, because everything else I wrap looks like I'm wrapping a mop or broom😂

On year, I wrapped a gift for my mother such that the box and top were covered separately in paper, and the entirety was wrapped in fat ribbon with a huge bow on top. All my mother needed to do was undo the ribbon and open the box. Fast forward a couple of decades. I'm moving my mother from her home of the past twenty-five years to a new one. Sorting through her things, I find the box with the wrapping paper intact. The gift that had been inside had come and gone. She had kept the box for all those years.

Coda: My sister jammed the box into the recycle bin without pause or comment.

Send your mop-wrapping tips! I’m trying to figure what to do with this thing:

Easy peasy. It's in a box. Wrap it.

The guy fix: Go to Home Depot where they have the huge rolls of paper with which to line your vehicle for protection. Roll out enough to wrap the box twice over. Put it in your vehicle as if you're going to load something atop it. If an employee asks, advise them that you need to see how the paper will protect your vehicle before you decide to make the purchase. Move your car (ostensibly to allow another customer to easily get their vehicle papered). Go inside. Buy something (light bulbs). Leave. Wrap the awkward boxed mop thingy in the brown paper. Draw festive figures on it with colored markers or crayons. Add ribbon. Viola.

Dang son, that’s a lot of work for a present for a 3-year-old! 😂

Back when we got print newspapers, this kind of gift was wrapped in accumulated Sunday comics. Not sure how to apply the digital edition of the Citizen-Times...
