It appears you have to buy at least 417 feet of the wrapping paper. You must have a BUNCH of Christmas gifts :)

Each year it gets harder and harder to locate Christmas wrapping paper with a Christian theme. You know, the designs we used to take for granted: Babe in a Manger, the Three Wise Men, Peace on Earth, etc.
I thought it would be useful to pool our resources as to what is available out there in stores and on the Web.
After a few hours on Google, I've found two designs that fit the bill:
Clearly my Google-foo skills are deficient. Anyone else have some good sources?
Yep. Not much there there:

Searching with "christian christmas gift wrap" yields no hits.
You might want to take a peek at your local Wal-Mart. Ours has a decent selection of Christ-themed wrapping paper and some pretty explicitly pro-Jesus Christmas cards, too. It might vary by state, purchasing team, or general manager preferences, however.
You're so intolerant, politically speaking.
This is a good post. I TOO wanted to get something CHRIST mas and not just seasonal, and I looked at WalMart. They aren't friendly to the Christmas crowd. If anyone knows where we can get some Christmas Wrapping paper please respond. I'm willing to print my own up on this Ink Jet....
You're judgemental too.
We were just talking about that. Of all the places we've looked for wrapping paper, we've only seen maybe two or three rolls that had a Christian theme. All the others were Santa, "holiday" trees, or commercial character based. When I say two or three rolls, I mean it too. There weren't even multiple rolls of those particular designs.
Since the best Christmas gift of all came wrapped in swaddling clothes maybe copies of the New York Times, or some other inglorious rag, would be best for wrapping paper. IOW, use something lowly and despicable.
Use google...but do it this way:
christian "gift wrap"
or
christian christmas "gift wrap"
...use the quote marks. There's tons.

A couple of years ago I gave up on finding anything but secular paper and started buying fabric instead. I have been able to find Christian Christmas themed fabric at Hobby Lobby and other fabric stores. I sew bags and tie the tops with decorative ribbon or cord. The best thing is that they are resuable.
There are few found with Bible versus when you search "bible wrap."
I looked Friday for some at Walmart, but I didn't dig thru them all. I did notice today that they have a big "fresh cut Christmas trees" sign and were playing carols.
BTW...my parents always wrapped the gifts in the funny papers. Why spend more money?
This whole thing is redundant.
Has anyone noted that December 25th is the first night of Hanukkah also?
If I chose to raise my child as half Jewish, Which she IS...Do we no longer fit in here?
I do not get this whole " war on christmas" thing....
My Google-foo is sufficient to have gotten that far, but no dice. Please help us out and post just one link to one of the tons. Thanks.
And next time don't post vanities in Breaking News.
