wrapping with toonie


Every day this week has seen special episodes of the Bill & Toonie show.
Today's was about the proper way to wrap gifts of varying shape.
No cheating with gift bags and tissue paper, nosirree bob!
Inspired, I set about preparing items to go under my tree.
 

Determined to use up all the bits of Christmas papers from years past, I started with the 2025 calendar from AARP, there in the middle.
Going clockwise from the lower right, I also have a new blank journal from Memorial Sloan Kettering, a calculator from Disabled American Veterans, the paid-in-full hospital bills for the cardiac ablation from the Department of Veterans Affairs, a canister of decaffeinated coffee from Senior SNAP, a $20 discount from Savannah Repertory Theatre, and a new shower curtain liner courtesy of United Healthcare.


Within an hour, they were all decked out in pretty holiday colors, using the scraps of wrap that I have held onto for at least a decade.
Well, all were wrapped except the discounted ticket from the troupe.
Now, they're under my tree, awaiting Christmas morning.
Thanks, Santa, for these many blessings!
