one of the fondest memories i have of christmas growing up is my brother's gift wrapping skills. he always wrapped the gifts he got for everyone himself. the thing is though, he did not subscribe to the 'traditional' form of wrapping gifts, he seemed to create some sort of alternate style of wrapping. some may call it 'bad', or 'incompetent', but no- his form of wrapping was almost beautiful in its lack of logic. he would never want anyone to be able to guess what they got, so he would put the gifts in boxes, as well as any other object that might be strewn about, such as cans of corn, laundry detergent, dish rags. you name it, he would stuff it in the box with the gift just to throw us off. it often worked too! as for the wrapping? well, it was something to behold. not necessarily something good, but certainly something to behold...
since chad wasnt there to wrap his gifts to all of us, mom took it upon herself to keep chad's wrapping 'style' alive by recreating his method for gift giving. he obviously had a ton of fun doing it! here are some of her works in the style of chad!
i dont think tweets quite understood what was going on as she looked at the gift from chad...
one of the gifts chad gave was a sledding board for bubba! he was very excited to try it out. they have a hill in their backyard, so he was excited to try it out just as soon as they got home!
