Every year I go thru the same routine.
Buy gifts.
Stockpile gifts in my office/practice room.
Have weeks long intentions of wrapping gifts at least 2 weeks before Christmas so they will actually spend time under the tree.
Evey time I plan on wrapping them a dread of going thru the act of getting the paper, finding scissors and tape, name tags, ribbons or bows just crushes my motivation.
One week before Christmas, panick-stricken and guilt ridden because there are no presents from me to ANYONE under the tree, I finally bite the bullet and lock myself away in said room with all my supplies, plus some booze. Put on some music and start wrapping.
I realize and say to myself "this is kind of nice, I'm in here in the quiet, drinking and I absolutely know she won't bug me because she knows what I'm doing, this is some good me time". I take my time, relax, feel no pressure and when I finally emerge she accepts that Ive accomplished something.

Every damn year this happens, when will I ever learn? I need gift wrapping sessions all year long.
