The lights on my Christmas tree have a life of their own and my wrapping could easily be seen as the work of a blind elephant.
Fcuk it! :x :x :x :x :x

My present selection criteria is shape first then price. If I can wrap it easily like a box/book etc then it goes higher on my buy list.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

You wrap presents now!? I do my Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

Completely missing the point that it is in fact a Pagan festival to celebrate the passing of the longest night and the Church imposed its own celebrations on top of the existing ones. A nice easy way to supplant existing practices, pretend it's something completely different. Even though it's exactly the same.
A bit like BC and AD becoming BCE and CE.
I mean. WTF?????
I may have just ranted.....Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

Don't wrap it up at all. Leave it in the garage/shed/spare room with a big bow tied onto it. And then wrap up something related to the bike in a parcel that looks immediately obvious - a jewellery ring box (for a set of tyre patches) or lingerie box (with a jersey in it) or a CD case (with um... something bike-related in it) or a bottle of Cycles Gladiator wine (their Merlot is lovely) - and give a clue to go to wherever you stashed the bike.0 -
Wrap it normally but address it "To Simon, from Santa" and look suitably smug.SimonAH wrote:I'm currently scratching my head over how to wrap a 700C wheeled steel Peugeot without making it obvious what it is....

I bought my ex- wife a Digital Piano for our 1st Christmas together and hid it in the house (which was a feat in itself!) I wrapped up the piano stool and put that under the tree. It was dismantled and in a box, so easy to wrap and gave no clue as to what it was.
On the day, she unwrapped the Piano stool and looked suitably unimpressed but trying to look happy.... and then her jaw dropped when I showed her where the piano was hidden.
I think that went down as the most used Christmas present ever (given that she's a Music Teacher)Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)
