wrapping paper is recycled multiple times...…………………………. even the gifts on many occasions.

I personally have a fruitcake that has been passed from family to family since 1517 AD.

Why wrap them at all. Just toss them in a bio-degradable box....each with a teeny, tiny tag.

The Sad Lying Left. What is it about Leftists? They HATE it when others have fun. They don’t want you to have fun - they want to control you.

I’m sure there are names for this institutionalized pathological psychosis - the mindset that thrives and energizes tyranny.

More proof that the Left has become a bunch of fussbudgets.

(For those who don't know, according to Wiktionary, fussbudget means One who complains or fusses a great deal, especially about unimportant matters.)

“if the libs had their way, we would all wear some sort of brown uniforms as well.”

In almost every science fiction show about the future everybody dresses alike. Even in Star Trek TNG the kids, the mothers and even the personal quarters were spartan and utilitarian. There might be a candle or a few pieces of art, but that was it. I found it all very 1984 creepy.

They don’t stop. They never can. Messing with their neighbors is what gives leftwingers reason to live. This crap has been going on since Earth Day 1970 when they first started their war against living conveniently.

Did you see the wrapping paper this year? So bland there was nothing Christmas about it, fugly, and expensive. Glad we had a stash.

Indeed, there is nothing liberals don’t want to ban. And it isn’t that they necessarily detest what they want to ban. It is that they need another thing to ban. After wrapping paper it will be gifts, Christmas trees, anything everything- Football, Basketball, any ball, every ball!!

The grievance society needs constant grievance or it will starve.
