So this morning I had a rare couple of hours free to finish my Christmas wrapping. And it occurred to me just how faked everything she does actually is. All fake to look perfect for the Gram. She filmed herself wrapping a handful of perfectly square presents which just isn't reality. This morning I have wrestled with wrapping a Woody Toy Story doll, a bird feeder (the MIL
), a frigging bass guitar and I've put together a hamper that looks like I've dropped it and a car ran it over.
No ribbons or personalised tags on any of my gifts as I simply don't have the time. I've worked out I've had to wrap around 120 presents this year so they're lucky to get a sticky label on them.
