6th Awesome of Christmas

6^th Awesome of Christmas: random wrapped boxes. My mom will shove a present in any box. It doesn’t matter where the box came from, if the gift fits my mom is using it.

One year she bought my dad a new winter coat to wear to work, but she didn’t have a box in which the coat would fit. So, my mom rummaged around and found a Clorox box from Sam’s. She shove that coat down into this box, and for dad’s picture present it looked like dad got some bleach.

My mom’s personal favorite is to wrap the Elder-Beerman boxes that are probably 15 years old. They have to be taped together or else they fall apart when you try to wrap them. It’s the worst thing ever, because my mom is the goddess of scotch tape, therefore not only does she tape the corners up..she tapes the lids on. It takes a good 5 minutes to unwrap the dumb things..and then the box pretty much dissolves in your hand.

Another Mommy favorite is to wrap dad & Scott’s presents in Petite Sophisticate boxes. Then when she takes pictures it looks like they wear women’s clothes. Yeah, my family rules.
