Cheers to the genius who figured out how to print a grid on the back side of a roll of gift wrap. Makes measuring and cutting in straight lines so much easier.
Jeers to gift tags that don’t leave any room to write names next to “To” and “From”, unless you can write in a 2 point font.
Jeers to pre-lit Christmas trees that only work for one year, then after that there is always one section that won’t light and you have to fill in with a string of lights that doesn’t quite match the rest.
Cheers to the only establishment open for dinner yesterday: Golden Corral. Good spread, waitstaff was “up” though obviously tired, crowd was civilized.
Jeers to the woman who could not take her smoke out in the parking lot and spare 30 people waiting in line.
When it is 2 AM Christmas morn and you are still wrapping presents, you are lucky to find a crayon or an eyebrow pencil to fill in the gift tags.
Any special paint pen was stolen by Mr VOW (“I’ve been meaning to buy one of those, how did you know I wanted it?”) or by COTU#1 or COTU#2 and used as eyeliner or to write her name on the dresser top.
