Christmas Wrapping Made Easy

December 13, 2006

In the past I had just wrapped my four kids’ presents and put the name tags on them , then I’d separate them into piles for each child. It made opening presents with four kids less chaotic on Christmas morning.

Then a couple of years ago I started selecting different wrapping paper for each child. No pesky name tags, and I can just throw the presents underneath the tree. The different wrapping paper is easy to find. Of course, it’s important to remember which paper goes with which kid so I just keep a sample with their names on it hidden until Christmas morning.

This year I’m trying something different with Christmas morning since we really don’t emphasize Santa. I’ll be putting the presents under the tree BEFORE Christmas and on Christmas Eve I’m going to hide them all over the room. So we’ll start off with the Christmas story and emphasize how the wise men sought after Christ, the greatest gift of all. Then I’ll give them their little scrap of wrapping paper and let them go find their presents.

I’m hoping it’s gonna work for us! For more great ideas go here.
