    I think I'm odd cause I love wrapping gifts. I have a room dedicated to gift wrapping at Christmas. I match the wrap and tag to the person. I was able to find skate tags this year even!!!

    On my mind too is how I seem to be elected the person at my in laws to be the cheerful person who conducts the convo. As the sister in law and i did dishes I was in charge of asking questions to start convos. Before that I had to smooth over the incident of a nice bottle of wine being opened at the wrong time. Life would be easier if people just didn't take it so seriously

    That used to be my role also, when I was younger and the entire family would be in one room.

    I also used to really get into wrapping gifts.
    The buying of the perfect gift for each person was big for me too.
    I used to get so many compliments about the wrapped packages.

    I’ve resorted to bags now, sometimes I just write the name on a homemade tag.
    So lazy.
    I do still work hard at getting gifts that I think people will really like.

    I'm halfway there. Anything clothing went in a bag this year. (Especially since stores stopped giving gift boxes.) I still wrapped boxes if it wasn't a sweater, etc.

    It’s over, I’m home, my back is hurting, my feet hurt, the food was delicious, the grandkids loved their gifts, I am DONE.

    Yesterday I slept until 2:00pm.
    Today, I could have easily slept most of the day away but I forced myself to get up and out.
    Now, I’m ready for sleep again.

    The people that live directly across the creek from me added a new floodlight that was on all night.
    I took this photo standing in my study doorway which is next to my bedroom.

    This irritates the hell out of me. 😡

    I’m curious, would it irritate you?
    What would you do?

    It would definitely irritate me. Why does it have to be on all night?
