A week from today Christmas 2007 will be over. You’ll be in the mood to tidy up, get rid of crushed wrapping and bows, begin to return your storage area to normal. Not so fast! Now you deal with the Box Nazi. The box your computer came in, your mixer, your what-ever with moving parts and sensitive electronics all slap your wrist with the warning that goes something like this: Retain original box for shipping. Sometimes it goes on to predict dire consequences (and voided warranty) should you ship in anything other than THEIR box, with THEIR Styrofoam. You could flatten the boxes, but there is still that specially constructed Styrofoam. So even you who have ripped the tags from your pillows take this seriously. You stack this Christmas’ boxes on top of boxes from Christmases past, knowing one day soon your storage area will be filled with air surrounded by cardboard.
And all over the land Box Nazis are curling their lips in a Satanic grin.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thanks for the heads up, I always forget that kind of thing. 🙂
Merry Christmas to you.
OOPS…..
I didn’t know about the Box Nazi’s I always throw the boxes out to the cardboard recycling collectors & the never breakdown even after a nuclear holocaust & a million year burial in landfill styrofoam into the rubbish. Hope nothing ever dies that needs returning for repair!!!!
