Wrapping paper, check; ribbon, check; tags, check; sellotape, check … Gathering together all the bits and pieces I need to wrap the Christmas presents. Image: Su Leslie, 2015

All of my Christmas gifts have been bought (well, almost all of them). So this afternoon, with the Big T still in Detroit and the boy-child at work, I set myself the task of wrapping them ready for Friday.

This year I’m mainly giving experiences rather than things, so it’s a challenge to package these promises of fun and adventure in tangible forms that will look pretty under the tree.

Luckily I’m a hoarder of craft materials. Gathered together, I think I’ll find enough to produce some interesting-looking packages.

    • Thanks Lesley. Nice to know we’re not the only ones. It gets so difficult to find “things” even for the people we love the most. And experiences are a great way of making sure we spend time together, which is the most important thing.

  1. Su, great interpretation. I like almost everything about Christmas, except putting away the decorations, but this year I wasn’t able to do much creative wrapping. Just didn’t have enough time! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
