I am a level III gift wrapping master. I had 7 awkwardly shaped presents wrapped before my wife had 2 small rectangular boxes wrapped last night. When I have a ton of wrapping to do, I get out the WWII Japanese sword - put gift on end of paper, unroll paper around box, mark spot, Sliiiiiiiiice. Tape. Fold fold fold fold tape. Flip. Fold fold fold fold tape. Done.

I find it relaxing... I usually stay up late every christmas eve wrapping gifts.

next year, though, I'm determined... I want to be done with all my shopping before thanksgiving!

You should see what happens when I really put effort into it. Thin pieces of metal, a drill, and pop-rivet gun come out of the tool box.

I'm known in my family for not "wrapping" gifts.

Brown paper bags, and black garbage bags are common "wraps" from me. :)

I really enjoy wrapping gifts.
I like to get creative and wrap with unusual items.
If it is a "natural" product like soaps and the like, i will use hand made paper with flowers in it...
i enjoy wrapping gifts. :)

My daughter says my ability to wrap the perfect Christmas present is just another check mark on the long list of things that show that I'm gay.

I'm aweful at it. But I don't mind it after a couple beers. Which could be why I'm so aweful at it. :p

Ironically, the fact that you fantasize about making love with John Goodman is not on that list.
