Just been reading a few posts & noticed a lot of you seem to wrap your pressies on Christmas Eve & just wondered how many of you do that & if you're all mad Shock.

There aren't enough hours in a normal day (& I'm sure some Christmas Eve hours are stolen from me) so there's no way I could wrap on CE (in fact I'm panicking that I haven't got much wrapping done cos I've been ill & there's still 4 weeks to go.

So which of you are crazy enough to wrap on Christmas Eve & do you do it cos it's the only chance you've got to do it or because you enjoy it or it's tradition.

Just being nosey btw! Grin

i always have best intentions of being organised, the problem is i start xmas shopping in about august, wrap most of it in early december and then find a bag of stuff i have forgotten about - usually at about 11.55pm on xmas eve!

I wrap presents for other people a week or so before christmas but DC's presents are wrapped on Christmas Eve - like BB this is a tradition and it's nice to involve DH in a little bit of it.

Although as we will have been to church in the afternoon then to my mum's (where a few glasses of fizz will have been drunk) before doing all the traditions of reindeer food, The Snowman DVD and mincepie for santa etc by the time I settle down to wrap with mulled wine the wrapping starts ok but ends up.... well it's a good job the boys rip it off without caring too much Blush
