The same people that said Christmas was about giving gifts in the first place. Total commercial garbage. There is no true meaning of Christmas because it never had one. It's a pagan holiday that has nothing to do with Christ. The history of wrapping paper is fascinating. The first people who actually SOLD Christmas wrapping paper in the US were the Hall Brothers...our old friends Hallmark. See the link at the bottom of the page...it's great. As for who actually bought it and wrapped it up? Some crazy American with too much time on his hands. However..... Rhonda was the first person to dream up fancy wrapping paper. This famous explorer and adventurer also had her softer side. Her solicitous care of the dreamy Ogg was legendary. Her invention of his bright red felt shorts insured that her private supply of delights was well hidden...and led her ever practical mind in new directions. While exploring near the stream (and incidentally catching dinner), she came across a rather unusual rock. This particular rock was eye catching in that it sparkled and shone through the water. Since she had never seen one like it before, she picked it up and deposited it in her bag. Further explorations downstream led to a few more of these shiny rocks and she soon had a collection of them. As she went back to camp, the shiny rocks intrigued her. Keeping an ever watchful eye out for the creatures in her path, she pulled one out of her bag and examined it. It glittered and shone just as much as when it was in the water. Thinking that perhaps it was a shell similar to yeggs and coconuts, she put it down and smashed it with another plain rock. To her surprise, the rock did not shatter nor did it crack. Rather it mashed a bit where she had hit it. Yet another interesting development! Putting the rock back into her bag, she hurried to camp to cook dinner. After dinner that evening there were other matters to attend to, so she forgot the shiny rocks for a couple of days. Like most women of modern times, she rummaged around in her bag when it seemed that the purse was heavier than necessary. Drawing the rocks from the bottom of the bag, she noticed that these rocks were heavier than most other rocks for their size, even the y'ron rocks.

Only if they moved into an apartment vacated by a rich Roman.
