Wrapping paper shenanigans

One of the big fundraising opportunities here is to gift wrap.  Starting on Black Friday and going till Christmas, organizations can sign up to wrap stuff in front of the Exchange.  The Exchange supplies the table and paper, you just have to bring scissors, ribbon and tape.  Our PTO signed up for the allotted 6 days and then kept being asked if we wanted more days because no one had signed up fo them.  It is decent money, but it is a time consuming job!  9am to 8pm.

I spent a lot of hours doing it, and I do like it.  I like wrapping presents and I like the interactions.  I also very much enjoyed getting to wrap a bunch of white elephant gifts for young Marines.  I wrapped a roll of bubble wrap.  I wrapped a gift in 7 different kinds of paper.  I completely impressed one guy when I suggested wrapping rocks to add to his large box to throw off the recipient.

Anyway, the girls accompanied me a few times.  Mostly they ran amok in the store, and sometimes they hung out with me.  But this night they were completely bonkers, and their friends stopped by and mayhem ensued.  Someone decided they needed to make wrapping paper his and the challenge was on. The kid in the pictures that is not mine is Maggie, Rylee's friend.
