Freddies was completely out of wrapping paper except for these huge packages of roles of paper with a snowman motif. I purchased a Christmas table cloth to wrap the big awkward present in. I have a few days to see if I can find a way to make it look good. And there were a few lonely gift bags left in with the birthday paper.

The shopping is all done. Ah. Now I can just relax...
