Christmas Wrapping Paper
My family has a thing with old Christmas wrapping paper. If the piece is nice, and big, we keep it to rewrap a gift the next year. This tradition supersedes the traditional tradition of burning all the gift paper in the fireplace, which we did, despite regulations advising against. The fire hazard and inhalation risks, these were small potatoes compared to the sight of cheerful multi-colored flames bursting from the hearth.
The problem is, my family stopped swapping gifts, I guess it got to be too much hassle. We rarely exchange gifts anymore, so I have old pieces of wrapping paper, getting more and more tattered each time I move.
Today I threw out a small, tattered piece of gilt wrap.
