My dad was king of perfectly creatively wrapped gifts. He was a difficult person who was soothed by perfect corners and invisible tape, bows that were handmade, and the exact right ratio of ribbons to bows. He taught us all. To this day, a sloppy gift wrap is nearly a moral outrage. This essay was a good one! Keep going Judith. I tell everyone I know about you!
What a great essay. A wonderful recollection of some past employment adventures. I worked in a family owned gift shop and you reminded me of the owner's comments around crisp corners, tight ribbons and straight tape. Thank you for bringing me some Holiday smiles!
Delightful and funny. I really like the last line "Just all the news that fit."
Thank you so much. I am grateful.
Thank you so much for your comment! I hope you will share my posts.

O. Henry would be laughing... A great piece to morph into a short story. Title can not be improved.
Like the title!
I started my retail career as a Christmas gift wrapper. Who knew that was the start of something big?
