Ya I know that this is a little out of season, but it is an honest truth!

Gift Wrapping
There is a religious precedent for not wrapping Christmas gifts....
Be advised as follows and wonder about its theological validity:

When the Three Wise Men went to see the baby Jesus
and, according to the Book of Matthew, "presented unto Him
gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh."
These are simple words, but if we analyze them carefully, we
discover an important, yet often overlooked, theological fact:

There is no mention of wrapping paper. If there had been
wrapping paper, Matthew would have said so: "And lo, the gifts
were inside 600 square cubits of paper. And the paper was
festooned with pictures of Frosty the Snowman. And Joseph was
going to throweth it away, but Mary saideth unto him, she
saideth, 'Holdeth it! That is nice paper! Saveth it for next
year!' And Joseph did rolleth his eyeballs. And the baby Jesus
was more interested in the paper than the frankincense."
But these words do not appear in the Bible, which means that the
very first Christmas gifts were NOT wrapped.
This is because the people giving those gifts had two important characteristics:
1. They were wise.
2. They were men.
