Head over to Dollar Tree. Great heavy paper on a decent sized roll for a buck.

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

Keep soaking it in Rum, it's all good.

Pardon the ad hominem attack, but can someone cue the Monty Python “big nose” skit?

Next they want to ban Christmas and then Christianity in this country. The lefties have an end goal and will the people of this country, as a whole, wake up to their insanity!

Thanks! I’ll try that! And I’m thinking of finding some Christmas fabric on sale, launder it then cut it in different sizes with pinking shears. That could be washed and reused year after year. And I’d always like the patterns...

We all slip up once in a while and give ‘em an inch. But then we need to repent, turn to the Lord, and come and take it back WITH A VENGEANCE.

Right, next year I’m just going to buy cans of spray paint
and spray all my presents.
One can of green, one of red
and a roll of Duct tape.

So the Huff Post is reduced to trolling on Christmas? That is the extent of modern liberal journalism. Wrapping paper serves more purpose than the paper that they use printing their rag.

**I use bags for gifts, and then reuse the ones that I receive.**

I suppose a bag can be a sensible and useful gift. Maybe go a little overboard once in a while and give it with an apple or banana inside.

And there should be a virtue-signalling tax: anyone wrapping gifts in brown paper should have to pay an additional 50% tax on all air travel, as well as a 50% property tax surcharge for a second, third, or whatever home—as well as a 50% excise tax surcharge on a second, third, or whatever vehicle.

Right, I have been to the dollar store(s) in past years and keep a few rolls but I seem to have run out this year.

But I haven’t been to the gift shops or big box stores for christmas paper in years.

I have used fancy wrapping on a few birthday gift or other special gifts but not typically.

And with the plastic wrapping also for a dollar at the clearance stores, you can make packages seem fancier for not much money.

The gift wrapping industry represents $2.9 billion in the U.S. economy.

Liberals hate capitalism and people being employed.
