I heard on the radio a few days ago that around the holidays, people produce an extraordinary amount of excess trash just from gift wrapping and packaging. Now I feel better about not wrapping people’s gifts in new wrapping paper. I usually use wrapping paper I saved from previous gifts, wrap it in old newspaper, or just not wrap it at all. It seems silly to waste paper on something people are just going to tear off and throw in the trash anyway.

This is the first year my dad actually got something for me on his own. Usually he and my mom get a combination gift for me or just money, but it was sweet of him to ask what I wanted this Christmas. He got me Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii. I’m not usually into Zelda games, having never beaten any of them, but I’m enjoying this one. When I first heard about the Wii version, I was excited and hyped up about it, but after looking at screenshots that made the game look very last-gen and muddy, most of that excitement died down. Everyone was saying how great it was, and there was no other Wii game I wanted at the time my Dad asked me (and he did specifically say he wanted to get me a Wii game), so I just chose that one.
