Last Tuesday at Scouts, we were wrapping presents for our Sub for Santa project. Scouts, leaders, parents were all wrapping. I struggled through one gift and said, “Whatever kid this is going to will know that it didn’t come from Santa’s workshop!” The dad next to me, who had been a wrapper at a department store, looked over and said, “Yeah, don’t quit your day job!”
We were just talking about this on “Arlo & Janis”; some people can wrap presents & some people cannot. Gift bags & tissue paper are a boon to everybody.
With my wrapping “skills”, boxes are good, anything else not so much. When I was working at a friend’s sporting goods store, I had a customer watch in horror as I tried to niecly wrap what she bought. Finally she asked if she could do it and I gladly assented.

Unpleasant memories of scotch tape do tend to stick in the mind a little longer.

scotch tape doesn’t have a odor if you’re not trying to smoke it, Adam!

Scotch tape is another brand name that’s turned into a generic name, like Kleenex and Xerox.

I used to wrap my gifts myself. I gave up and now hand it off to the charity gift wrap service at the mall.
