But first, lets establish an understanding
1. This is the season, we in the US, call Christmas -- fact
2. It is traditional during Christmas to exchange gifts -- fact
3. It is also traditional that these gifts are wrapped -- fact
Then why are manufacturers allowed to market products in packages that are not rectangular!!!!!!
How are we supposed to wrap them 
I don't care how trendy your product is, put in a box... a rectangular box.
Not a Scalene triangle, not a Trapezoid, neither a Nonagon nor a Dodecagon. And for the love of all that we hold sacred, nothing spherical or with any curves
A rectangular box. That's all that I am asking for. A little mercy from the manufacturers.
It is time to take a stand against this insidious practice. 
If necessary I will take it to the US Supreme Court!

Fact: you are right on most of the things you mentioned.
Fact : I think you need a good drink as part of attitude adjustment therapy.
I think the holidays have you down and therefore, you need a snifter or 2 of a good single malted Scotch. I was going to mention having a good single malted scotch drink but in your case, keep the whole bottle. On second thought, there is a 5 cent deposit on the empty.
This $160 dollar bottle scored 97.5 out of a possible 100 points in the publication of a renowned industry publication from whisky expert Jim Murray. It was also made in Japan of all places. One usually thinks of Scotland when it comes down to Quality whiskeys and Scotch, not Japan. The Yamazaki is incredibly smooth though.

you can also have a William Larue Weller scotch which placed second.

If all else fails, you can call Jack Daniels and his cousin Jim Beam. I have it on good authority they will have a drink or 2 with you.
Btw, it could have been worse. You could be up all night until 6 a.m Xmas morning putting together Barbies playhouse / mansion with working lights and everything and have your Xmas pretty much ruined by a Barbie doll and her new house / mansion.
Count your blessings.
