everyone planned on coming over on christmas eve for the gift giving fun, so diana and i made sure we had everything (we did not, but fortunately mom came through with some help!), and got about preparing for the fun! diana and i feverishly wrapped all the gifts that we had brought, taking advantage of mom's always plentiful supply of gift wrap, and put them around the tree for the big night. this is always one of my favorite parts of giving gifts at christmas! i'm not a very good wrapper (well, i'm quite a bit better than my brother, but i think he does it poorly on purpose...), but i always love looking over the gifts i get to give and excitedly anticipate how they will react to the different prizes picked out especially for them! as a general rule, i always try to avoid gift cards. partly because its not as fun to wrap, but mostly because i like to challenge myself with thinking of interesting gifts. i always like to get someone something they didnt even realize they wanted! i rarely ask people what they want, i usually try to figure out an idea for myself. granted, that may sometimes turn out with them not actually getting what they want, but thats the price they pay...
