that's so funny!! when i saw the 'wrapping traditions/rituals', i thought, boy do i have one for them!! we do the same thing with the wrap -- my mom started that waaaaaaaay back when i only had two children. we get one type of paper for each child. we usually go to party city when they have their .99 sale and grab lots of rolls of each pattern. i now have five children, so i hope they have a good selection this year!!
then we wait til the kids FINALLY!! fall asleep, put on "christmas vacation" and wrap and wrap and WRAP . . . then we assemble, assemble, and assemble the big items.
no wine for us though -- my sons would prolly end up with barbies and my daughter would get gi joes!!
