Well, we got started on our Christmas present wrapping. How novel, not to wait until the last minute. In the past, we have always wrapped gifts in our master bedroom, which created chaos and left the room a total disaster for days on end. I do not know why we never thought to set up a folding table in the middle of our front room, which is a library/office space.
That's what we did yesterday and it was brilliant. Sara came over and spent the night with Eva and we plowed through so many packages. It was such a better setup than trying to do it in the bedroom. Our wrapping station isn't in the way of anything else, since we watch tv and "live" in another room.
If you enjoy reading a book set during the holidays during Christmas season, I have another recommendation for you. Christmas By the Book by Anne Marie Ryan is a charming choice. It is about a bookstore in a Cotswolds village, and how it affects the people in the community. I am loving it.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I've got to do some wrapping this weekend so I can get a package mailed b4 it is too late.
the 11 month old puppy is showing way too much interest in xmas decorations. he pulled down a stocking this morning and was gleefully parading around the kitchen with it. he was very proud of himself.

What a great idea to set up in a spot that can be used without having to worry about cleaning up right away! Nice you also got to spend some time with your two girls while you wrapped gifts together! Your latest book sounds interesting!

You might try getting some bed risers to raise the table up higher. It will be much easier to use the table and it will save your back.

My mom and I always set up a wrap station in our finished basement. Then in the evening with glasses of wine we would wrap...and talk. Best time ever.
