Not always. Some use gift bags or even plactic bags. I’ve wrapped with gift bags before.
And you also need sellotape or something that sticks the paper down. I’d suggest chewing gum – you can chew it as you wrap to make it extra sticky.

I’m shopping later today………On my list is a new whistle for each of the Thai security staff that raise the barrier at the entrance to my gym at the Royal Cliff Hotel……..A couple of bespoke printed ‘T’ shirts………One with “Procrastinate Now’ and the other, for his wife, emblazoned with ‘The Boss’ ………I could have chosen ‘Basil’ and ‘Sybil’ but that might be more cruel than funny.
And I have one off my best, Squash/skiing/affair-confiders over. We go back 35 years and I’ve just realised he’s the newest mate I’ve made.
He’s recently decided to hide his jowls with a pointy beard………He’s getting a floppy red santa hat……..and a bamboo stick with a string and fish hook attached…………..He looks like a gnome.
It’s the thought that counts……..

Listening to it just now – well this one. Its not too bad actually. Could listen to this when sitting in the warm sun waiting for the night to come.

Offline The present that I was waiting on for the friend of mine came yesterday- huzzah.
So I am 100% finished.
My mam is making me drive her to/from Galway tomorrow* so I shall be selfish and maybe buy myself some more books (as if I need more books but to be fair, one can never have enough books) and see if I can find the 2-disc edition of the last Harry Potter film seeing as no place here seems to have it.

Offline Had an icky time earlier as a parcel came in the mail which was for Silly Mum. I managed to abduct it before she saw (by sneaking out the back door, grabbing it off the doorstep, and slipping it in through my bedroom window), but she was asking about it later (‘I heard the doorbell ring, why did you go outside, was there a package, something came in the mail…’ etc.)
Jesus’ crocs!

That’s how I feel when I tag along with the missus to the shopping mall. She always takes me out to lunch after.
Her: How do like this shirt/dress/skirt?
Me: It’s beautiful (he said, imagining the beautiful club sandwich he will order for lunch)
Her: How so?
Me: The color is great (he thought, thinking of the amber color of the ale with which he will wash down the sandwich)
Her: Should I buy it?
Me: I don’t see why not (Translation: the sooner you do, the sooner we can eat)
Oh yeah, wooo Christmas!

Delivered the Christmas cards to the neighborhood yesterday. Some people we barely even know, so one of them the envelope was blank, and the other was titled “The Doctor + Family” because we don’t know their names. Also finished making my moms Christmas present last week, which was embossed foil with zentangles (cool designs) and her initial.
Woooo,Christmas in 5 days!!!!

I’m debating on whether to get the Christmas dishes down to use while my mom is here or buy some Christmas-y paper plates, etc. so we won’t have to wash as many dishes.

Offline We took Christmas photos yesterday (this is an event for us, as we usually are quite remiss about it), and Little Girl was being highly uncooperative but we managed to get about three good ones out of three dozen. And That’s The Way It Goes…
And I just helped Little girl write her letter to Santa Claus (we are terrible about putting this off). She dictated, I wrote.
We are going to undertake the grand long drive down to The State In Which Our Extended Relations Reside tomorrow. I be muchfully excited, yes I is

No, my neighbor is a doctor, it has nothing to do with Doctor Who. Sorry…. *walks away slowly, pretending that this never happened*
Oh, and here’s a picture of the foil/zentangle thing:

Oh boo 
And your present is very sweet, I’m sure your mother will love it!
Yesterday I decided to get my brother a present (we never buy each other stuff for some reason…), he’s now getting The Simpsons’ Season 7 boxset. My Harry Potter search was in vain- they only appear to be selling the box-set only now 🙁
Merry Christmas ya filthy animal, BrotherScruff.
