A couple of days before christmas I lock my self in a room with loads of floor space, take a thermos with coffee with me and spend the whole day sitting on the floor, wrapping delicious presents. This is really one of the best things with christmas - buying or making gifts and wrapping them. Simply love it.
I always choose a theme. One year all presents were put in brown paper bags with hay working as ribbon, attached with a red seal. Another year I used gingerbread men as gift tags, tied with red ribbon to wrapping paper made of the boring looking business section of the newspaper. Another year I used leather and hide as paper, tied together with black or white silk ribbon.
Wrapping gifts tastes like grilled marshmallows - sweet. In addition it takes time to make them, but you really enjoy the result. It's also really tiresome when you're making a lot of them - and you get kind of sick of it in the end, but still you kind of love it.
The planning phase is probably the thing I enjoy the most, so even though I have plenty of friends and relatives to wrap presents to before christmas - if you're stuck and need ideas for your christmas wrapping this year, just ask. It's marshmallow-time!
