Lake Afternoon Drive: A Christmas morning tip

89.5 the Lake Lake Afternoon Drive Logo

Stroll down the toy aisle and what do you see?

Not fun. Not joy. You see the enemy of Christmas: packaging. That hard, clear plastic clamshell that laughs at your scissors. Those fifty twist-ties holding the action figure hostage.

Fast-forward to Christmas morning and you’re sweating, wrestling plastic like it owes you money. The kid is crying because they want the toy now. And you’re thinking you should have gotten a blowtorch.

Pro tip: If you’re buying gifts today, toss a pair of wire cutters in the box. Give the gift of easy access.
