They can’t get the wrapping right
My husband once told me that he thought it was pointless wrapping something up for the sole purpose of opening it up again. This makes perfect sense to me. If this is typical of what other men think, then it’s little wonder men get sick of wrapping presents
year after year. This dislike is probably the reason behind them not being able to do it quite right. Men’s perception of abstract beauty (for example a bow tied perfectly on a Christmas
present) is quite different from that of their women counterparts. We pay attention to the wrapping paper. They want to know what’s inside it!

1. Use bags instead of wrapping paper and put as many presents as you can in one bag.
2. If you must use wrapping paper

3. Buy an artificial Christmas tree. There are lots of realistic, affordable ones on the market. Do not contribute to tearing at our earth's lungs.

Men don’t necessarily want to be restless at Christmas, they just are. There is so much to do, at such a tight schedule, involving so many different things, with several multi-tasking activities that men cannot help but tune right out! Shopping
is a nightmare since there’s an abundance of things to look at, all crammed into noisy brightly-lit shops, full of stressed out people on impossible errands. This kind of environment is simply not for a person who can only do one thing at a time. Men panic as they listen to the screams inside their heads which insist, ‘Let me out! Help! I can’t breathe! What do I do with my hands! Why’s my brain melted!’

to know that he means none of it.

And for the New Year:
It will soon be that time of year when everyone will be making New Year’s resolutions
