Yeah, well, I'm thinking next year I'm going have a bit more on my plate, you know?
The only reason it's done now is that I wanted to clean out this one closet, and in there I had:
- two boxes of stuff we've picked up in our travels over the course of the past year thinking "this will be a good gift for someone"
- a bunch of shoeboxes (because I save them all to ship presents back to my friends and family in the US)
- a shopping bag full of bubble wrap and tissue paper I've saved up to use for packing
- a bag with all of the gift wrap and tags etc in it
and it occurred to me that rather than try to organise it all, it would be more efficient if I just actually wrapped and packed it all, then stacked the ready-to-mail boxes in a corner, thereby clearing the whole load of stuff out of the closet entirely.
Next year I'm thinking everybody gets a bib with baby puke stains on it, if they're bloody lucky.
