I’m more along the lines of “I should reach out, it’s been a while… But what if they decide to try and hold a conversation? This is not a good time for that, I have nothing to do”.

Father of 4 chiming in: wrapping paper into a bag as you go, helps keep it as tidy as possible. Also, bins or baskets to put the unwrapped gifts into. That last one only works temporarily and is more a psychological band-aid that hurts when it’s removed when it inevitably stops working as desired, until bed time.

Right? 2025 on Earth still existed in Star Trek. There’s a non-zero chance you press the button and nothing happens… So you think it didn’t work and push it again only to end up with the BDSM elves…
