Again, I have to apologize for my recalcitrance. December is a busy month, but that doesn't make it any safer, quite the contrary. It's frighteningly common for people people to injure themselves trying to get Christmas presents out of their packaging. And the danger doesn't stop there. I mean what does Best Buy expect you to do with with a four foot tall cardboard box, thirty feet of bubble wrap, and a bag of foam peanuts?
It's fine if you want to build a spaceship out of all of that extra garbage, but play nice!
I understand, there's a lot of sibling rivalry and old wounds that get opened up at the holidays. Remember the year you fed Barbie to the cat? And who can forget the fight over the sweater Aunt Annie knit for you? But don't strangle your younger brother! It's hard enough to breathe with a plastic bag over your head.
