Santa just left our home. Now I’m up, stretching my trash grabbing arm, loosening up my hamstrings and lower back. Got my lawn and leaf bags at the ready. Trained all year for this one morning where I can tune out all the noise and focus solely on collecting every piece of wrapping paper and ensuring it gets placed in the proper receptacle. It’s a right of passage. #dadlife #merrychristmas #wrappingpaper #santaclause

How #Holiday #WrappingPaper can be a metaphor for the absurdities of our #Capitalist system: only "big brand" wrapping paper has those handy cutting guides on the back, presumably because they've got a #patent and charge some obscene amount to license it. On the concept of some squares printed on the back of a roll of paper.

How is that patent providing any value to society? I'm all for compensating whomever had the original idea, but holding onto it for years? No way.

Dear #WrappingPaper companies: I know there are lots more important things in the world, but please, please, please if you would all just print #grids on the reverse sides of your paper, it would make our lives so much simpler. Thanks! #holidays #Christmas #Hannukah #Kwanzaa #NewYear #GiftWrap
