I was threatening my parents that i would do this when they decided to wrap a roll of toilet paper…this way you can see how i did loot-wise. hehe. i still haven’t opened all my presents (Lisa and Veronica remain outstanding), but i am very pleased. Everyone seemed to make as much effort as i did on them - and for all my snide remarks about the quantity and quality of presents reflecting the amount a person loves you, i know it’s about caring and effort. I made an effort and i think everyone else did too…that’s what makes you feel loved - knowing that people listen when you are blabbering endlessly.
