momof5plus1hubby Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Do you wrap as you go? Or do you wrap everything on Christmas Eve?
peachysquirt21 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I get alot of wrapping done on BF. All our presents usually are wrapped & under the tree by X-Mas eve. :)
berry1014 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I start wrapping the first weekend in December and will spread out my wrapping. I am usually done wrapping within 2 weeks.
Cecilliadb Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I wrapped my first gift last week hehe. Cant wait till I have more to wrap! I like to wrap over time and as I get gifts. I have to have gifts for the locals donen by Dec 1 so I can hand them out before we leave town on the 2nd.
bugsette Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 wow!!! you guys are good... I'm still wrapping on Christmas eve... I do have about 75% of that done before that... plus my mom helps me
lisamag Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 i tired to start about a week before and always end up wrapping on chrirstmas eve until about 2 am, last yr both my kids woke up my 12 yr old first to use the bathroom so of course he had a really hard time going back to sleep, and just when i finished my then 4 yr old woke up thanks to the neighbors partying, i snuck her to the bathroom with out seeing anything, and off to bed, this yr i plan on being done before christmas eve
smangham Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I wrapped 5-7 gifts yesterday. I like to get a head start, so when I put the tree up....(I'm just sitting on my hands NOT to do it NOW!)...I'll have gifts to put under the tree..
Kellylumbard Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I try to get most of it done as a I go and then finish up on christmas eve. DH waits till Christmas Eve to do everything lol
stacimarie Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I wrap mostly on the couple of days before Christmas cause my dogs like to try and eat the presents.
qbmomx2 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I wrap as I go to avoid peekers from finding out what they got!!
Guest kathybmb Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I try hard but don't always succeed in wrapping right away..i keep everything i buy in a christmas journal. that way even though things are wrapped i can look up who i got what for..
lilac100 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 I try so hard to wrap as I go, but I usually end up wrapping my kids stuff on Christmas Eve.
laffnatu Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I started wrapping last night. I finished shopping for my neice, wrapped them all and put them in a box in the attic. This is really good for me. I'm usually wrapping on Christmas eve. I decided to start wrapping earlier this year especially since my little incident last year. My lock broke on my bedroom door and I was locked in my room while wrapping my son's gifts. My son who was 9 at the time was the only one there. He had to go next door around 11pm to get my neighbor who finally worked the lock loose from the outside. I knocked off some of the door frame trying to get out. I just realized something.... I still haven't gotten that door lock fixed. I've been using a slide lock since Christmas..lol.
heavenlysshine Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Usually the whole week before Christmas...and I enlist help! I hate wrapping alone.
Kygal2003 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 I'll start wrapping gifts once the tree is up. Some of the kids gifts will wait to be wrapped on Christmas Eve.
indymom46060 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 We start wrapping here and there a couple of weeks ahead, but normally have the majority of it left to do on Christmas Eve. We have turned it into sort of a tradition..lol. We do snacky finger foods and everyone (me, brother, sisters, mom, hubby, etc) gets together at my mom's and we all bring our wrapping supplies, sit on the floor, watch 'A Christmas Story'(over and over again!), wrap gifts and talk. It actually turns out to be a pretty fun evening.
EmConMom Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Usually the weekend after I pick up my layaway I wrap everything, with the exception of last minute gifts. I do wrap other people's presents early but my kids I wait until I have everything and then wrap. Also, I wrap each of the kids' presents in different paper. That way I don't have to put names on them, I can just stash them until Christmas Eve and then I know who they belong to.
jlr1996 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 I try to wrap everything for the kids before they are out of school and finish up everyone else between then and Christmas eve. Along with everything else....
Turtle Mommy Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 I have done both ways. I like wrapping as I go better. My back thanks me! :lol
