Do you wrap?

[marypoppins38]

I was talking to someone yesterday who said that they don't wrap a thing. They just put all the presents on the lounge floor on Chrismas morning and the kids dive in.
I don't know anyone else who does this. Surely part of the fun of Christmas is seeing a beautifully wrapped (or not in the case of my husband...he tries, bless him) gift and the anticipation of what is in it.
Having said that, I have just spent over 4 hours doing all our wrapping today so the none wrapping option is looking quite appealing right now.

Never heard of that. How do people know what present is theirs without wrapping and a tag?

Not wrap ? What in the name of all that is Christmas magic is this travesty?

I can imagine it would be just like walking into a shop that, conveniently, just stocks all the things you really want.

Everything has to be wrapped; it's part of the excitement and suspense.

Everyone in my house knows I don't like surprises but they still wrap presents for me - I just have a good old feel, a sniff then a peek if I still haven't guessed

Thank goodness its not just me that thinks its weird.

I wish I didn't but I do! I hate wrapping.

I start off enjoying it but by the time I get to the end I hate sellotape with a passion.
Thankfully have finished now though having wrapped the books up!

Wouldn’t dream of not wrapping, though I do have a giant Stitch who won’t be getting much special attention!

I find the really large canvas Disney bags at Primark (where you have to be in the queue for the tills to see the darn things) are ideal for putting larger presents in. Less than a fiver and it's something that can be reused.

Technically I don’t wrap, my husband does but I couldn’t imagine giving children presents unwrapped. It’s a part of the excitement to unwrap the present.

We wrap all Christmas presents. We don’t always wrap birthday gifts though.

Yes I’ve got a really large canvas bag and I’m just going to put some wrapping paper over his head!

How odd, I wonder why they do that?

We like to see the wrapped presents building up under the tree over the couple of weeks leading up to Christmas day, it's part of the excitement and anticipation. Can't really do that if no wrapping.

We do have a stock of Christmas gift boxes and bags that we reuse so that keeps the wrapping up process easier and better for environment. Can't imagine not wrapping at all though!
