I know it is a traditional shopping day but I really can't stand crowds for very long. So, the only shopping today was a quick stop at the grocery store.
The main Christmas activity today was to finish wrapping presents that need to be mailed and shipping them. It works pretty well as a team activity. Rudy wraps, I label and put bows on, organize address labels for the boxes and give some direction which is usually ignored. Freya thought about assisting but decided flipping out over an empty gift wrap tube was too much fun.
Other than annoying people, we actually have motives for doing this. And they are:
- We send birthday presents to three people at this time of the year. There seems to be a base price for each package, so tossing the Christmas presents in makes sense. Honestly, it probably saves about 20 dollars a year anymore.
- One package goes overseas with a 2 - 3 week estimate for delivery.
- Everyone else goes shopping until mid afternoon today, making to post office line really short.
- All of the ads from yesterday' paper, make great fillers for boxes.
