Viraldice: This Woman Has an Absolutely Genius Solution to the Problem of Christmas Package Thieves

'Tis the holiday season, and that means it's the busiest time of year for the United States Post Office. For a solid three months, packages fly through their facilities as family and friends hurry to send gifts to one another before that all important (Christmas) Day comes around the bend.

The holiday season is gift season, and nowadays, gift season means a lot of packages on a lot of doorsteps  — which means that package season is prime package thief season.

If you’ve never experienced this horrifying phenomenon, allow us to describe it to you:

There you are in your Christmas best waiting by the door for Santy Postman to arrive.

You look out the door, and whom should you see? No, that’s not Santy Postman by your Christmas tree…

It’s that most horrifying of horrors: the Christmas thief. He’s out to take your packages and rob you of your very last… leaf. (Alright, we’re going to stop trying to rhyme now. But basically, where there are Christmas packages, there are Christmas package thieves — and they are dastardly.)

 

One person who has experienced this horrifying phenomenon firsthand is director Cameo Wood, who lives in San Francisco.
