Here we are; first day of my vacation and I have been put to work. Don't
get me wrong; this is my favorite job to perform all year; wrapping Christmas
presents!
This never used to be my job. Until I was about 13, this was my older
sister’s gig. She would come over for a night of wrapping and Christmas tunes
with my Nonna. When I found out that she was cooked my favorite meal (breaded
chicken and soup) as part of the wrapping party, I jumped onto that train.
Nonna and Rachel taught me everything I know about gift-wrapping. Now, I am the
go to wrapper for every occasion. She taught me the precision in sizing and
cutting the paper, decorating it with ribbons and bows and placing the label in
a nice spot. My grandma taught the method that uses practically the whole role
of tape on one box, but it gets the job done. Now, I can be considered the
pro-wrapper. I come home from school and help her every year and I would not
have it any other way.
