Who doesn’t procrastinate when it comes to wrapping presents? There is always so much to do and wrapping presents seems to get pushed to the side and forgotten. But then the night before Christmas, you find yourself trying to finish everything up while wrapping presents on top of that!
Why not make wrapping presents a date with your man? Have dinner waiting at home when your lucky man comes home. Have a Santa Hat on his seat at the table. Place a note on the inside letting him know about your date later on tonight.
Have everything ready to go wherever you will be wrapping presents. Of course have them out of reach of any kids that may come along. Make sure to lay them out so they look appealing. The things I decided to include for our night were: Hot Chocolate, Marshmallows, Christmas Music, Chocolate, our Santa Hats, Presents, Wrapping paper, tape, and scissors. Most of the stuff needed is around the house already, it’s just a matter of making sure that they are all ready to go. Of course, you can start making the hot chocolate as you begin your date. The music will make the mood light and cheery.
Then once the kids are in bed, your wrapping date will begin. This will make wrapping presents fun. So enjoy some much needed talk time during the season and finish the one thing that never seems to be done during the holiday season.
This is exactly what I was planning for Christmas Eve, how fun! I also plan on getting some Grasshopper cookies and making hot cocoa to sip through them, the idea from the movie night date a few weeks back. I have been dying to try that since! Merry Christmas Dating Divas!!!
ReplyDeleteWrapping up gifts is my favorite part besides shopping. I usually tend to do it right when I get home from buying the gifts or getting them in the mail. But this is so much fun. I will have to remember this when we aren't just buying for ourselves anymore.
ReplyDeleteWow I love wrapping and it was fun to put a twist on it.
ReplyDeleteMichelle have a great Christmas Eve date!
Jess and Chad - Me too! I love to shop and wrap but it is also fun to wrap together and make a date of it.
