Here's the Thing

Hyper-packaging. Seriously?  Grrrrrrrr!

We had a bit of pre-Christmas gifting after our Fleskpannkaka.

These snug bugs were snuggly packaged.  They were strapped in and tied down.

Not a problem. What else have I to do but yank, tear, pull and and cut (a ridiculous amount of tiny ties etc.) to get to the good stuff while the desire for the gift either gains momentum or falls rather flat?

I borrowed this from Olivia's blog. (I'm not sure how you managed it, Liv, but that's a fine family "self" portrait!)
