Is it strange to wrap empty boxes to put under your tree for decoration? /u/EnvironmentalAngle No such thing as stupid questions

Hi. I’m a single dude with no kids. That being said I still decorate and put up a tree for the holiday. However one thing that irks me about my set up is there are no presents under the tree.

I have no reason to put any there as no one is going to be opening gifts at my house. Don’t think that’s sad, I’ll be opening plenty of gifts today its just we all go to my uncle’s house for Christmas and there’s no reason to open gifts at my house.

The reason I don’t put them there is because of social anxiety. I feel like my friends are going to chirp me when they come over and see empty boxes.

But malls do it right? Am I just being anal retentive and there’s nothing weird about wrapping empty boxes as decoration or am I justified in my reservations?
