This is What Actually Will Be Affordable Christmas Wrap

Now that Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and... whatever is left have come and gone, now you gotta think about what you're going to do with all those gifts.  I have a similar dilemma most every year.

I end up going to the closet and seeing what I've got for wrapping paper.  Sometimes it's wedding paper, sometimes it's birthday paper, sometimes it's holiday paper.  Sometimes it's just wrapping paper with clowns or something disturbing on it.  And I used to have some that was novelty wrapping paper, it had a design on it that looked like strips of bacon.  Anyway. But I guess I'm not really the example of what normal adults do.

I mean, after all, my mother had a year long stash of paper, bows, ribbons, gift bags, all sorts of stuff for all occasions.  She even had a box of cards for different things that might come up. She was Prepared for Merriment.

In years past I've wrapped presents in newspapers, or more specifically, the weekend color comics.  I mean, it's kind of hard to find enough funnies in one go to get all of them done, but you could do it over a couple weekends. One time I wrapped a gift in aluminum foil, that was pretty funny. But there's nothing wrong with using something like the comics as a gift wrap! It's cheap, it's gonna get thrown away anyway, and everyone likes to read them. Done.
