Have you guys noticed how crappy wrapping paperis these days? I can't even cut this thin junk without it ripping. I remember it being stronger. What the heck. I just screwed up another present, have to start over.

So she just used plain, brown wrapping paper, and decorated it with a solid coloured ribbon and rubber stamped christmassy stuff all over it while I kick back, drank beer, and watched Die Hard.
It truly is a Chrimbus miracle!

Easier to use, especially after you've had a few drinks, and they are a lot stronger than the tissue thin wrapping paper that is now too common.
