Wrapping party 2025- October 19th

[sweetpumkinpye]

Nearing the end of October. Time is flying by and it is probably now time to really put plans in place if not already.
As part of CIJ we designed some great planner pages that may be very useful to keep track of things like online orders, stocking fillers, Christmas cards, menu plans and pantry and freezer needs. Pop over and have a look and see if there is something there that might help make the next few weeks just that little bit easier.

I bought four rolls of wrapping paper yesterday at HL. All Christmas was 50% off.

Great buy. It seems very early to have 50% off. I am OK for paper but will check again after I have wrapped and maybe pick up a few rolls if it is a good price.

Would love to go to HL just to look but don’t have the time. DT had A Christmas Story paper not on sale but had to have it anyways.

Ended up doing a marathon wrapping session today. Wrapped all that I have with the exception of DH and mine which I will do later in the month. I need a few more things for Mum but I know she will be happy with a gift card for a mani/pedi. Need one more thing for DB.

Will work on finishing wrapping this weekend. Everything in the basement gift closet is wrapped just need to do what is upstairs.

We are all doing exceptionally well with the wrapping. We still have plenty of time yet but am glad with the progress I have made.

Have wrapped everything I can at this point. Looking for the large sturdy holiday tote bags. As of Saturday no one around here had them out. Will look again later in the week when I’m out.

large sturdy holiday tote bags

This year we got a bunch from the Mets team store that we will use. Josh and Jin return the Hanukkah ones to me every year as they are harder to find.

 

[Myron's Mom]

Found the tote bags at TJ Maxx they were 99 cents. They have a “retro” santa on them. Actually they look like the Santa I grew up with. Am I so old to be retro???

I like the Cracker Barrel ones that are like 3 for $5.00
