Well this seems to be my random thought for the day, so I'll just copy it from SUOPC.
Christmas dilemmas:
I was wrapping up Christmas presents for my family as you do. I was sitting upon the lounge room floor, scissors in one hand paper in the other, bits of sticky tape neatly lined up and stuck to the coffee table for easy access when trying to compromise corners on awkwardly shaped items when it hit me. I didn't want to wrap up the presents at all. I just didn't care, what is the point of making each gift perfectly wrapped and tied up with ribbons with love hearts adorning gift tags with special warming messages of hope and happiness. For me this is very strange indeed as I used to look forward to wrapping presents, I used to think of it as one of the nicest Christmas things you could do, put care and loving into the gift. But did I wrap neatly? No. Did I put ribbon on and curl the ends? No. Did I write cards? No. Did I wrap everyone in the same paper so everything was matching? No. Did I care about this? No. Have I somehow lost my Christmas spirit? Yes.
