Blogmas 2023 Day 2 (wrapping day!)

It was another rainy, foggy (yet warm) day, and I had a crappy night of sleep. I did manage to get up and write some letters before I had to get ready to go.

This year, Kenna and I decided to start a new tradition that I’ve been super excited about: wrapping day! First, we made a trip to Paper Source, a glorious stationery store that’s my absolute favorite place in the world. (I only go once or twice a year because I can drop hundreds of dollars all too easily.) I’d never been at Christmastime before, and it was just as magical as you’d expect! I love the wrapping paper and other items that I got.

Next, we came back to Kenna’s place to make peppermint bark tea, turn on Elf, and start wrapping. I love wrapping gifts and it was extra fun to do it with a friend. I don’t know why we’ve never done this before! It was peaceful, productive, and perfect.

I was in pain and exhausted when we finished, but I made myself go by my parents’ house, the pharmacy, and get gas. Then I could finally come home and crash on my couch to doze and scroll through TikTok for the rest of the evening.

Today I’m thankful for: Christmas dog wrapping paper; the feeling of being almost home; and reassurance.
