Wrapping presents is an activity which requires a lovely mix of sharing and secrets. With those who need help, wrapping presents together can be great fun as you choose together appropriate papers and get fingers caught in knot tying and sticky tape. But when secrets are kept, the delight of the secret can be just as much fun as the joy of sharing.
Things to do
- Make a list of all the things for which you can say "Thank You".
- Wrap your presents and hide them away.
- Sing a song...
Merry Christmas - Traditional British
We wish you a merry Christmas

Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a Happy New Year!
Please bring us some figgy pudding
Please bring us some figgy pudding
Please bring us some figgy pudding
Please bring it right here!
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
So bring some right here!
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year!
