Guess Who Hates to Wrap Holiday Gifts?

While many of us--28 percent to be exact--say that wrapping Christmas gifts puts us in the holiday spirit even more than shopping, there are more than a few Scrooges out there when it comes to pretty paper and beautiful bows. Fully 10 percent of Americans would rather take out the garbage than wrap their Christmas gifts, according to a new survey from Scotch Tape published by Wireless Flash.

What else do we prefer to do instead of wrapping gifts?

Clean the house: 19 percent
Shoveling snow: 11 percent
Well, that is one way to get the house tidy and the driveway cleared.

So if you do take out the garbage, clean the house, and shovel snow to procrastinate gift wrapping, you may end up like more than a third of all Americans. Fully 36 percent plan to do all their gift wrapping at the last minute. Where are the scissors?

Can I atleast get credit for wrapping dozens of gifts very nicely??

I would never not wrap a gift. I don't even really like to use gift bags because it's not the same as openning a gift.

OMG - I AM SO SO SORRY CHRISTINE - I meant to write you are NOT scroogy - i feel so horrible -please forgive me...and I got off the computer after i wrote that - i am so sorry!!

Oh please, don't worry about it!! I wasn't upset there's nothing to forgive

I dislike wrapping, I stock up on all holiday printed gift boxes and stick some tape on it and Voila a wrapped present
