Wrapping paper or gift bags?
If it can go in a bag and look presentable, it does. I worked for years when I was in school gift wrapping presents at gift and department stores. Ugh!

Real.

The weekend before Christmas. Ideally, it would be Christmas Eve, but we are usually busy with extended family activities that day.

Not before the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, after Epiphany.
