I spent this morning doing one of the things I dislike most about the holidays: wrapping presents. While I like the pretty paper and seeing all the marvelous gifts, I just don't enjoy wrangling those marvelous gifts into their holiday outfits. But I had a whole morning without any outside-of-the-house obligations and since we plan to put the tree up this weekend, I thought I would just dive in and get it done.
Although I dislike wrapping, there is nothing quite as much fun...to a cat. Spenser, of course, inserted himself into the middle of everything. Honestly, it seemed as though there were at least five cats helping themselves to ribbon, biting the tape and rolling around in the paper. I am surprised that I didn't wrap him! Then again, maybe I should have - it would have kept him out of the way for a few minutes.
It took over two hours, but I got done all that I could get done. My back hurts and my hands are riddled with paper cuts, but I am done! And Spenser? He is exhausted, too, and is now sound asleep.
