I was gone for almost an hour.

I got back and they had not even started yet.

:banghead:

5. Seriously.
I actually DID wrap gifts for the first time in years this year. I usually do the gift bag thing, it is so much easier, and reuseable.

2. My dear KitchenWitch!
Omigod!

That sounds rather like what I said to my husband earlier...

I said "let me know when you want to wrap my present." He said "Wrap?"

Ack.

Merry Christmas, sweetie!

:hug: :loveya:

So I get home, and he is all "Honey, where is the tape?"

The tape was in the container with the damned wrapping paper and scissors.

That could be really cool if they were having a bonding experience.
Talking and laughing and building Christmas memories takes time. :)

I hope you have someplace entertaining to go for a while. :hug:
