Wrapping

This year I decided to buy matching wrapping paper and my presents were going to be absolutely beautiful. I bought two different kinds with two different designs as well as some gorgeous ribbon to wrap around the presents. Unfortunately I bought the most uncool thing a wrapper could ever buy, stick on bows. I didn't find out until later that they how absolutely horrendous they were until I heard some ladies talking about wrapping later that week. One lady even used the phrase "so bad, it was worse than stick on bows". I wasn't about to fight that crowd again to return the 99 cent bows, so everyone got a stick on bow present this year. You can only imagine my humiliation.

The paper was apparently made from people who don't like Christmas. You know how paper is supposed to slide straight as the scissors shear it?? Well this paper was obviously made for the most skilled wrappers. I sat in the middle of my floor slaving over a 5x7 gift. The damn paper would tear, and nothing was even. Also, my tape kept getting dog hair in it because it's part of my house decor. All of my presents this year have dog hair in it. I tried to convince myself it was like fur, but dog hair isn't fur it's colored needles.

The ribbon I bought didn't go with my wrapping paper either. After all was said and done, my Christmas presents were the ugliest things I've ever put together since the 3rd grade. I probably should have stopped myself after the whole stick on bow fiasco. Next year everyone will receive their Christmas presents in bags.
