My

back aches

from wrapping and

tieing and leaning over

to cut snowflake covered paper, 

silver paper, holly paper, and paper

with red and gold presents on it. From folding

carefully, from creasing corners,from curling ribbon with my

scissors, from writing on santa labels,from figuring out who’s present is

who’s, from packing it all up again, putting the paper back into it’s dollar tree bags,

 shoving all the holiday bags back into a bigger floral bag, piling the wrapped presents into a

huge Old Navy bag, And finally pushing them all into the corner of the tv room so they’re cluttered

 together. We need to put up our christmas decorations

very soon. I did my best to make

this in the shape 

christmas tree.
