My brother’s present finally showed up so I guess I’ll be wrapping soon. I’m terrible at it.

Five Tips to Avoid Back Pain While Holiday Gift Wrapping
1. Avoid Sitting on the Floor
By using a counter top at waist level, or a dining room table with a supportive chair, ensures that you are using your arms rather than your back. You want to maintain good standing posture or ergonomic sitting posture when wrapping.
2. Create a Gift Wrapping Station
Keeping wrapping paper, scissors, tape, ribbons, and any other materials you may need at arm’s length helps to prevent overextending or stretching muscles in ways they weren’t meant to be stretched. Also, you should wear comfortable and supportive shoes while standing. Do not wrap presents in bare feet.
3. Wrap as you Buy
Rather than waiting until the last minute to wrap your large stash of gifts at one time, consider wrapping them as you buy them. This will ensure you’re not maintaining a painful position for a long period of time.
4. Take Breaks if Needed
If your back starts to hurt while wrapping, take a short break and finish the rest after. While you’re taking your break, make sure to stretch. This will help to loosen your muscles and joints.
5. Last Resort - Use Gift Bags
For some people, especially those with previous issues, gift wrapping inevitably causes back pain. If you are one of those people, skip the added stress and pain of gift wrapping and place your gifts in a festive bag.

Yeap, wrapping a few last things! Sigh! And listening to Handel's Messiah. And so grateful I have loved ones to wrap for. Merry Christmas!

Only have to wrap my wife's gift and two sons. My daughter always take cash. Wife got diamond and blue saffire necklace and matching earrings. Sons got two LSU pullovers for the playoff game we will be attending this Saturday. Dammit it's been a good year.

Just got back from Walgreens from Christmas shopping.
The sad thing is, everything will be 50% off come Thursday.

Hey frog
Wine here too. Wrapped brother’s present even though he linked me what exactly to get him, so it’s no surprise

My wife picks three things she likes throughout the year. She let's me know that its Christmas present worthy. I check the mental note in my head. I go with my gut from there. So far so good after 7 years.

I like using online shopping but I miss shopping at the stores where the gifts would be wrapped for you

Merry Christmas Aspy, Frog, everyone else. I gave cash this year, so my wrapping is done. Sitting here in the dark, just poured a a tall glass of chilled Jack Daniels Honey, gonna stare at the fire for awhile.
