 Gift Wrap… And Wrap And Wrap And Wrap

I just finished wrapping one of Beth’s Christmas presents. It measures about 4″ x 4″ x 1″, it took me three tries to get it right, and I used about six square yards of wrapping paper and four linear feet of tape doing it.

The Christmas Spaz is in town.

Update:

I just wrapped a second gift. Two tries this time. I’m improving, but need to remember the old construction adage “Measure twice, cut once.” I keep reversing it.

    Chuck, you’re missing one of the basic principles of “Zen and the art of gift wrapping.”

    Here it is, free of charge.

    Always do a crappy job of wrapping presents. This has several positive effects. First, everyone’s expectation of your gift-wrapping abilities will remain appropriately low. Second, you will be perceived as “too macho to be a good gift-wrapper.” Third, it will make your efforts seem huge, and make the present seem more thoughtful and heart-warming.

    You owe me now …
