All wrapped up

Okay, so it took all bloody night (or so it seemed). But it's done. The seemingly masochistic ritual of meticulously placing decorative paper and other ornamentation upon product packaging so that it may be shredded away a short time later by foaming-at-the-mouth-for-gifts kids. I rejoice at my completion. But my joy will be far greater in about 48 hours, for my favorite part of the holiday season is always its conclusion.
