Wrapping Christmas gifts is an arduous task this year, even with much fewer presents to wrap. I sit on the floor by the tree, no need to wrap my treasures in secret. I carefully wrapped your daughter's gift, then sat alone and cried. After I write this I will do another for my sisters or brother. Wrap, cry, wrap, cry, one at a time, until they are done.
