I spent some time this morning wrapping the presets for the kids. They get two Christmases you see -- the one in Australian, and then another smaller one when they get to the US. Now, it might be the nostalgia speaking, or the fact that I haven't seen my family in nearly a month, but it occurred to me that I really like Christmas.
Or to be more precise -- I really like giving my kids stuff. Although, it turns out that I am crap at wrapping. There is something really cute about the kids being excited to be moving to the US -- because daddy said there were presents waiting for them. That's cool.
Oh, and next time I'm only going to buy rectangular presents so I stand a chance of being able to wrap them. Ever tried to wrap a stuffed toy?

I think the best idea for non-rectangular presents is to put them into cardboard boxes prior to wrapping. It makes the job of wrapping much easier.

You, good sir, are badly in need of some boxes.
I doubt it's even possible to wrap a stuffed toy well unless you put it in a box first, then wrap the box.

I saw your kids unwrapping presents -- their own, plus every other present in the room -- in Canberra. I don't think they were too concerned by the quality of wrapping. They just liked unwrapping stuff.
