I just can't get motivated to wrap my holiday gifts

So I've been pretty good and almost completely done holiday shopping. I have bags and bags of gifts taking up my dining room and I just can't seem to get my butt in gear to wrap them. Anyone else just staring at their gifts wishing they'd wrap themselves?

Re: I just can't get motivated to wrap my holiday gifts

I had so many bags and no more room for them. DH set up the folding table so that I could start wrapping them and putting them on the table so that DS would not rip the paper. I have wrapped about 1/2 of them already.

Re: I just can't get motivated to wrap my holiday gifts

i've been quite lucky---i work in an office with my dad....and he's been away on vacation--so i brought all the gifts to work and wrapped them here while he's been away. lol


but i reached a wrapping plateau--and i have a bunch that are just sitting here that i can NOT bring myself to finish. i'm just not feeling it right now!!!

That's what happned with me. I had a few gifts and I wrapped them all. Then I kept buying more and more and now it just seems so overwhelming, I haven't touched them since.

Actually there have been a couple of times that I wanted to start wrapping them, but I'm holding off until my decorations and tree is up.

It's more fun to put them under the tree as you wrap them! Chat Icon

This is me too except they are all taking up a corner of my bedroom.
