You ever been to someone's house and discovered they have a closet full of wrapping paper? I'm not talking about a few rolls; I mean a secret stash that could rival Santa's workshop. I went to a friend's place, and when I opened the closet, it was like being hit by a rainbow – wrapping paper as far as the eye could see. I asked, "Do you have a birthday coming up or are you just really, really optimistic about the holidays?" It turns out, they buy wrapping paper on sale, in bulk, and then proceed to forget about it until the next sale. It's like they're preparing for a gift-wrapping apocalypse.
And there's always that one roll that stands out – the oddball in the collection. It's usually the one with snowmen and Santas on it, and you find it in July. You know, because nothing says "Happy Birthday" like a snowman in the middle of summer.
I can just imagine them bragging to their friends, "Guess who's never running out of wrapping paper in a zombie apocalypse? This guy!

You know, I recently had a revelation about wrapping paper. You ever notice how, no matter how much effort you put into picking the perfect wrapping paper for a gift, it always ends up looking like it survived a tornado? I mean, you spend more time smoothing out those darned creases than you did picking out the actual gift! And don't even get me started on the corners. It's like trying to fold a fitted sheet, an impossible task! I always feel like I need a degree in origami just to make a present look presentable. And let's not forget the tape – it's like it has a mind of its own. You put it down, and it's suddenly stuck to everything except the wrapping paper!
I'm convinced there's a secret society of elves dedicated to making us look bad at wrapping gifts. They sit there in their tiny elf board meetings, discussing how to make our lives just a little more chaotic during the holidays. I imagine one elf saying, "Let's make the wrapping paper just a smidge too short this year, and throw in some glitter for good measure."
I tell you, it's a conspiracy, and I won't stand for it! From now on, I'm embracing the art of the gift bag. No more wrestling with rolls of paper and tape conspiring against me. Gift bags: 1, Wrapping paper: 0.

Have you ever received a gift so beautifully wrapped that you almost don't want to open it? I got one of those once. The wrapping paper was so fancy; it looked like it belonged in an art gallery. I felt like I needed to hire a curator just to handle it. But here's the thing – when the wrapping is that extravagant, the pressure is on. You start thinking, "What if my reaction doesn't match the effort put into this wrapping?" It's like the gift is having an identity crisis – "Am I a simple mug, or am I a priceless work of art?"
I unwrapped it with the utmost care, making sure not to rip anything. And then, there it was – a pair of socks. Great socks, mind you, but still socks. I had to put on my best actor face and exclaim, "Socks! Just what I needed!" Meanwhile, the wrapping paper is silently weeping in the corner, wondering where it all went wrong.
So, note to self: if you're going to use fancy wrapping paper, make sure the gift inside is equally as fancy. No one wants their socks to feel like they're attending a black-tie event they weren't invited to.

I recently attempted a do-it-yourself wrapping paper project, thinking I could personalize my gifts and save a few bucks. Big mistake. I ended up with a masterpiece that looked like a kindergartener's art project gone wrong. I thought I'd get creative and use old newspapers for a vintage look. Little did I know, the ink would transfer onto my hands, my clothes, and pretty much anything that came in contact with the gift. It was like giving someone a present and a newsprint tattoo as a bonus.
Then there's the whole idea of making your own designs. I figured I could draw festive patterns, but apparently, my artistic skills peaked in the third grade. My attempt at a Christmas tree looked more like a deformed broccoli, and the snowflakes resembled something a cat might have coughed up.
Lesson learned: DIY and wrapping paper should never be in the same sentence unless you're telling someone else not to do it.
