When will you start wrapping?

[motherofboys]

I usually wait until December, then the tree is up and I can play Christmas music and reward myself with a mince pie I also like to have all the preaebta before I start. Not sure why haha

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

I wrap a day or two before Christmas. Hanukkah doesnt get wrapped.

 

[kirstybumx3]

A week or two before Christmas. I like to be virtually finished before I’m wrapping or I forget things lol. I also put Christmas music on, but I reward myself with alcohol

 

[ClairAye]

I wrap on Christmas Eve.

 

[Bevziibubble]

I'm going to wrap as I go along like last year

 

[motherofboys]

I wrap on Christmas Eve.

The one year I left some to wrap on Christmas eve we had a power cut and I was wrapping by candle light. I swear the number of times I lost the scissors tripled haha

 

[Bevziibubble]

That must have been stressful!

Watch the Michael McIntyre clip on scissors and sellotape it was so funny, could totally relate.

I wrap once I have everything. Usually mid/end December when tree is up, songs are one. I reward myself with a mince pie AND alcohol haha

Not until the tree is up at least as they are all stuffed in the cupboard as there is no room. Once I pull the tree and decs out then I can wrap and put them in an orderly way so the paper doesn’t get crumpled or tear.

I have so much I need to wrap and I want to start asap, but I'm waiting to have the baby first, as I love nothing more than when the kids are in bed I sit down with a huge glass of wine or a Baileys and wrap while watching a good xmas film

Oh no! That must have been horrible! I used to do it earlier but moving it upstairs and downstairs is a pain and makes the paper rip lol so I just bring everything down, wrap then put under the tree! The last couple of years I have gotten myself a take-away too, think that is my wee tradition.

I'll wrap a couple things that go under the tree once the tree it up. Santa gifts will be wrapped when i finish up my shopping; otherwise, I'll forget what I've already bought! Typically, about a week before Christmas is when I end up wrapping.

 

[george83]

Usually a couple of days before Christmas but this year I’m doing it earlier while the kids are still at school, it’s my favourite part of Christmas!

 

[rangersgirl69]

The last week before the kids break up. Will do it all in front of a home alone marathon and the lights all twinkling.

 

[Mum21boy1girl]

I will usually wrap beginning of Dec, hopefully I will have everything by then this yr!!

I've seen that, it's spot on haha
I would usually have alcohol as well but not this year haha

I tend to keep it all in the delivery boxes and also have a settee that has storage underneath so I can hide quite a bit in there once wrapped and then on my have a couple of large boxes to carry down and empty. Touch wood, the paper has mostly been fine haha

 

[Babybump87]

I might start wrapping once I have out the tree and decorations up! Usually do it by the fire of a night but DD1 has been coming down lately so might have to do it when they are in school !

When DD2 was born I was wrapping until 2am Christmas Eve! Never again was knackered !

 

[Bevziibubble]

Sounds like a good plan!

 

[sequeena]

I wrap a few presents every school day in december and it's done by the time my son breaks up for christmas.
