Bah Humbug!!!

I've just spent all morning knelt on the floor, using our bed as a table, wrapping Christmas presents!! My knees ache, my back aches, my shoulders ache and I'm rapidly going off Christmas!! I only have a few more to wrap, so once I've got those out of the way I might feel a bit more Christmassy!! But don't count on it!!!

I still have only done 1/2 of mine. Will finish them off tomorrow. I also hate wrapping presents! But love to see people open them so it is worthwhile:)

Love S

Hi S,
Apart from the bits I've still got to buy I've DONE!!! I'm glad its not just me that hates the wrapping!! Every year I promise myself I'll wrap things up as I buy them, and every year I don't!! Its such a chore and makes me all Bah Humbug!!

But I totally agree I LOVE seeing the kids open their pressies, and even though the girls are "so old" now lol I still manage to get them some surprises! Your Isabella is going to have a fantastic time this Xmas :-) I bet MaMa and BaBa are going to spoil her rotten :-)
Love
Janet
