They’re getting so expensive! We got a 3-pack of wrapping paper for $6 that is, admittedly, nice. However, each of the rolls is only 12 sq. feet. What kind of crap is that? Italian tole practically costs less per sq. foot. We also didn’t find a tree skirt. They barely had any and the ones they did have were $40. I’m usually pretty good at estimating what something will cost and I estimate that a freakin skirt to go under your tree should NOT be $40! I think Target is getting too big for it’s Christmas breeches. They used to have a range of stuff.
Leaving my cranky old man persona behind …
Nate and I continued the tradition of him opening his birthday gifts the night before his birthday. I come up with good reasons but really, it’s just that I’m a child and cannot wait for people to open their gifts. Tomorrow we’re going out to dinner with some friends. It was kind of a last minute thing so I’m pretty psyched that it worked out so well.
It’s a good thing I’m not Santa cause I certainly would not fit down any chimneys by the end of this week. Lunch at Grants tomorrow, dinner at Plan B. Lunch at Friendly’s on Thursday.

12 square feet? That’s barely enough to wrap a shirt box! I hope it was BEAUTIFUL paper

I had better luck at Target with wrapping paper. I got four rolls (25 sq feet each) and a bunch of shiny bows for $7.99. All I have to do now is actually wrap some presents.
