Hi vyvyhale they are older now and found out the truth and were not mad now they do the same with their children Santa is like magic for kids it is fun as each one stops believing and then helps keep the belief in the hearts of the younger ones my grandma made stockings for me until she died and wrapped gifts from santa I was 37 when she died and I miss her

Yes, but the reason was that I was a Long-Term Single Parent, and finding the time to wrap the gifts was a BIG PROBLEM ... being the ONLY income source in the home, having TWO disabled children ... their therapy, medical appointments, their school activities, and volunteering for their events ... plus my work all caused a very severe LACK of sleep ..
then on Christmas Eve ... more trying hard to get THEM To sleep, so I could open that locked Attic Door, get the Presents out and wrap some more .. most took all night, then the next day .. having to host all sorts of 'guests' (some very toxic for sure).
NOW ...

Yes, but I usually get lazy and start putting things in gift bags instead of actually wrapping them.
My family has a party and unwraps gifts on Xmas eve, so I always end up doing the last minute stuff a few hours before the party.

Unfortunately yes. It seems the money comes around late, then you are shopping like a maniac and before you know it it Christmas, my son is sleeping and I'm locked in my room wrapping. Growing up changes it all.

In my revel in, getting inebriated instead diminishes the amusement of the excursion. It impairs my bodily potential, has a tendency to make me sick, and is a critical anxious approach depressant, which makes me not up to merry. I have additionally learned that obtaining inebriated isn't in any respect vital.

I wrap mine at least a week before just to make sure they all get wrapped. Don't try to make time to do it, just make the time.
