im visiting family so the majority of gifts are back down at home. normally im a kinda bung it under the tree type but tonight i was more picky.. building it up to look more impressive than it is.
large bulky pressents used to prop up smaller presents, cant have gifts with the same paper near to each other etc..
anyone else guilty if trying to create the wow factor? |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I used to do this. With a puppy this year we haven't been able to put anything under the tree and he likes to sit under there.
It's all part of the Christmas decorations and you don't want to spoil the look of a good tree with a higgledy piggeldy hodge podge underneath. |

I don't have a tree, lent it to work, currently in one of the offices.
Apparently it was too "minimal", so someone put a red tinsel on it, and ruined it.

I agree. When you wrap a puppy it tends to look a bit untidy |

In our house we make separate piles for each person. That's how my mum and dad did it when we were kids so it's kinda rolled on from then. At the moment, the two smaller kid's presents are in two piles in front of the fireplace. Siren's and mine are on the table in smaller piles, and my eldest daughter's are under the tree for when she arrives on the 30th. Any others (parents, extended family) are under the tree also. |

and you can guess what it is cos it barks and pees on the paper.  |

I love christmas, the decs, present wrapping etc and my 7ft tree takes price of place in the lounge.
Whilst I love wrapping and will use an assortment of paper, ribbons and bows, I don't coordinate to all one colour theme and the presents are not put in any order under the tree. I like to see the tree with presents piled up underneath it |

The gifts start under one bit of the tree but then extend along under the window in the lounge as easiest for sitting by with the kids in the morning foropening. Not in any real order,kind of mixed up with bigger at the back.presents from me to the twins in disney princess paper,for my son from me in toy story and from santa to all 3 in a santa themed paper.the rest from friends and my mum.Then their stocking are led in the front up against front presents.Big thanks to "Grandma claus" for sending over a package from canada withabout 90% of the winks's stocking stuffers already wrapped and seperated by carrier bags for each child,even a bunch for me
Hope that my coughing fit at the moment does not wake my angels prematurely as 5:30 is too early to start the festivities...lol. Merry Christmas all! |
