What do you do while wrapping Xmas gifts?

For example, I have this "ritual" which I started some years ago - every year while wrapping gifts (usually Xmas eve) I put on ABBA CD's and crank them up. Don't know how it started I guess just one year by accident...but I have a lot of great memories throughout the years back from high school dances in the 70's to discos in the 80's while living in Europe and parties with friends throughout the years. Brings out pleasant memories and keeps my energy level high and combats all the BAD memories tied to the holidays which I really don't care for. But anyway that's what I do and the energy gets me through the drudgery of gift wrapping. Just wondering if anyone else has anything fun they do while wrapping gifts.

    I usually play some of my favorite music, like you do, usually 80s music (even though I was born in the 90s!). I almost like wrapping gifts more than shopping for them, because I spend a lot of time making sure it looks beautifully wrapped. I have an entire box filled with crepe paper, ribbons, wrapping paper, special craft accessories and everything.
