Who invented wrapping paper and where did the idea come from that you wrap Christmas gifts with paper?
The reason for wrapping the gift is that most of the fun of the gift comes from the anticipation of not knowing what is inside of the beautiful wrapping.
"While the tradition of wrapping gifts in general dates back to the First Century, wrapping Christmas gifts was first introduced in the United States in the 1900s. Joyce C. Hall of the Hallmark company introduced a thicker paper, printed with holiday designs as a replacement to tissue paper in 1917. Originally sold by the sheet for ten cents, the use of this thicker, more durable wrapping paper has continued in the decades since, becoming a worldwide business. Today hundreds of companies produce the decorative paper, with a variety of designs, colors and textures"
