I use cloth bags. Just throw them in, tie the string in a bow, stick a sticker on the string with the To: and From: lines and I'm good to go. Last year it took less than 5 min, and no waste. I love it!

My intentions are always to have the gifts wrapped before school gets out for Christmas break. Some years I have everything wrapped by then but most years I have to do a marathon wrapping session. Last year I had the 2 older kids wrap the gifts for the younger ones.

This is me too, except I usually do it at the beginning of the season, say Dec. 1st. It really gets me into the season and I have a ball!

I'm usually doing it all on Christmas Eve night with DH keeping an eye/ear out for the kids. I enjoy wrapping gifts and since we really don't have anywhere to keep them once wrapped, it works out best to do them Christmas Eve.

I use old Christmas cards as gifts tags for the gifts from Santa. DH writes those out for me.

I usually don't have a lot to wrap, so I usually just pick a day a few weeks before Christmas and wrap away. It only takes me a few hours, if that long.

I've been thinking of switching to this method... did you sew up the cloth bags or did you buy them somewhere??? And if you made them, any suggestions on how to make our own???
