“It’s not officially Christmas until you’ve told a roll of Scotch tape to fuck off”

“It’s not (officially) Christmas until you’ve told a roll of Scotch tape to fuck off” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. Scotch tape is often used to help wrap Christmas presents, and some people have difficulty finding where the roll begins. “It’s not (officially) Christmas until you’ve told a roll of Sellotape to fuck off” (the United Kingdom version) has also been printed on many images.

It’s not Christmas until you spend at least 10 hours trying to find the end of the sellotape.
